Boys Basketball
To open up the Marion County Tournament, the Cards drew #1 ranked North Central. A strong first quarter put some scare into the Panthers but a slump in the second quarter created some separation. The third quarter was again competitive but the host team poured it on in the fourth quarter to eliminate the Cards from the week long tournament.
The Cards never really got it going against Beech Grove on this weeknight game. A slow start and inconsistent play dug the Cards a hole they couldn't climb out of.
The Patriots of Terre Haute North visited the Fieldhouse and met up with a more than ready Southport squad. The Cards came away with a three point win and a Conference Indiana victory.
The Cards struggled to get things going after a long bus trip to Columbus North on Friday the 27th. Scoring droughts and turnovers caused the Cardinals some problems and was reflective on the scoreboard.
The Grizzly Cubs of Franklin Community came to the Fieldhouse to round out the month. The Cards had a balanced attack with several contributors. Brevin Jefferson had 11 points and 6 rebounds. Dut Mabok had 10 points and 5 rebounds. Chaz Hinds had 9 points and 12 rebounds. Jahmyr Johnson pitched in 9 points and 4 rebounds.

Girls Basketball
The girls traveled to Columbus North to take on the conference opponent Bulldogs. A sluggish 1st half caused a deficit the girls were unable to claw out of. They battled through and won the second half but dropped the game.
Up next, the Cards traveled to Terre Haute North. Another tough Conference Indiana opponent was waiting for the Cards. The girls came away with the win. The highlight of this game was when Emma DeHart surpassed the 1,000 career point mark.
The Cards hosted Greenwood for their annual Pink Night. Along with a basketball game, the program raised awareness and donations for those fighting breast cancer. During the game, Jaelencia Williams and Emma DeHart were unstoppable, putting up 21 points apiece. The Cards came away with the victory.
An intense game broke out when the Falcons of Perry Meridian visited the Fieldhouse. The Cards struggled offensively but defense proved to be the difference as the girls held the Falcons to two points in the 4th quarter. After forcing overtime, the girls held their opponent to two points in the extended four minutes. The win set up a possible conference title with only one conference opponent left on the schedule.
Columbus East came to play on Senior Night. The Cards had a slow start, putting up seven points in the 1st quarter. They poured it on in the second half though, scoring 22 in the 3rd and 20 in the 4th.
With a share of the Conference Indiana championship on the line, the Cards hosted Terre Haute South. This game was rescheduled from two weeks back. This was a competitive game for the conference foes but the Cards pulled away in the 4th quarter to win and a share the Conference Indiana title with Columbus North and Perry Meridian.
The freshmen team won the Marion County tournament by beating Ben Davis, Franklin Central, and Roncalli. Great job ladies!
Tonight, the girls will travel to Ben Davis to compete in the sectional against the host school. The game time is set to tip at 7:30 p.m.
