Jr. Bills Split Weekend Games
Friday night, the Junior Bills welcomed the CBC Cadets to the Backer Memorial for an MCC contest. The Jr. Bills took a 3 point halftime lead, sparked by the return of senior Luis Soffner, who missed a few days because of retreat. In the second half, the team struggled shooting the ball from the field, but kept the game close. In the end, CBC's free throw shooting kept the game out of reach and the team fell 46-40. There was no time to relax as the Jr. Bills made the long trip down Grand Ave. to visit the St. Mary's Dragons. This always proves to be a tough test, and Saturday night was no exception. SLUH took a 10 point lead into the 4th quarter, but the Dragons fought back to tie the score with only a few seconds remaining. In overtime, the Jr. Bills outscored St. Mary's 11-1 to grab an impressive road win. The team is now 2-0 in overtime games this year. The Jr. Bills are next in action on Tuesday evening at home against a revived Gateway Tech team that just defeated number 1 McCluer North on Monday. Gametime is 6:00 pm.
