The St. Louis 6th grade boys basketball team travelled to St. Lawrence
this evening and battled their way to a 1 point victory over a very good
and balanced team 36-35.
The tight confines combined with an exuberant and abundant hometown crowd
provided one of the toughest atmospheres the Cardinals have had to face in
their young careers.
Thomas Raver had a good night on both sides of the court and was the team’s
leading scorer followed by Abe Streator. It was a complete team effort
though with 5 players needed in the scoring column to seal the win. St.
Lawrence was able to hit the final shot at the buzzer but the score was
36-35 in favor of the Cardinals.
‘Not much went well for the team this evening. We were in foul trouble
early, missed shots, had too many turnovers and missed free throws. But,
the poise, perseverance and heart the boys utilized that won’t show up in
the statistics column were exactly the characteristics needed to bring home
the win.’ Cardinals Coach Jim Mohr.
