From Our CYO Coaches
10U Basketball:
The 10U Boys looked to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to St. Pius last week. This week 10U got back a core player in Kahmel Jones! The energy was electric throughout the team being fully healthy again! and they came out with some fireworks. St. John did not have a chance led by Lyndon and Nathan who both scored a game high 20 pts each! Kahmel made his return impactful by scoring 10pts and grabbing 10 rebounds, Asher poured in 6pts, Kelan scored 4pts and Trevor even scored 4pts. It was a total team effort and total team win! 10U boys have now finished the season 6-2 and are headed to the PLAYOFFS!
12U Basketball:
The 12U Boys looked to do something that has not been done at St. Marys' going Undefeated was never our goal, but with every win the boys gained the confidence began to grow. The boys started out aggressive led by Jesse and LJ grabbing crucial rebounds which led to us controlling the game and 2nd chance points. Led by our team captains Bryan and Brice we were able to battle back as the lead continued to make changes throughout the first half. The game was tight from start to finish. 2nd half is where the 12U boys like to showcase their defensive talents. The Annunciation team came to play and didn't make the challenge easy. St. Mary continued to put pressure on them and the game came down to the wire. Unfortunately St. Mary came up short, losing in a controversial season ending game 33-31. Congratulations to the boys on having an Excellent season and becoming CYO EAST Conference CHAMPS! We are headed to the Pplayoffs and we will need your support. 12U record is 10 - 2. Congratulations again.
