The St. Louis Cardinals 5th grade boys basketball team played their 4th game of the season tonight and defeated the Laurel Yellow Jackets by a score of 40-35.
It was a hard fought victory over a very good Laurel team that happened because of good defense and excellent teamwork. The Cardinals were down by two points at the end of the 3rd quarter and then outscored the Yellowjackets 9-2 to secure the win.
The team was led in scoring by Charlie Schebler (15), Alec Bunselmeier (8), Ben Harmeyer (7), Noah Tuveson (6) and Nate Vankirk (4). Frank Forbeck, Nate Reder, Luke Meer, and Jack Hollins also made significant contributions in the win!
The next game will be tomorrow night, Wednesday, November 18, at home against Greendale at 6:00pm. Please come out to the game and cheer on the Cardinals!

The Saint Louis 6th grade boys basketball team was back on the road against Laurel Tuesday evening November 17th. It was a tough, gritty hard fought game from the opening tip until the final buzzer. But, when the dust settled the Cardinals were on top 33-29.
It was an effort to find the bottom of the basket. Joseph Suttman, CJ Grote, Cody Mohr and Thomas Raver were able to put up the points with Raver leading all scorers followed by Mohr. CJ Grote hit a big contested basket late in the game to give the
Cardinals a 4 point lead. The defensive load was heaped onto the shoulders of Adam Vogelsang and Hunter Laudick and they put forth a great effort against Laurel’s two really good ball handlers and scorers.
The boys responded well to the adversity and did all the work necessary to
survive. Defense, rebounding, getting to the free throw line and hitting
their foul shots were the fundamentals the boys responded with to come away
with the victory.
