The 7th-grade Cardinals faced a tough defensive challenge Tuesday evening as they hosted the St. Nicholas Saints. The Saints executed a strong game plan, making it difficult for the Cardinals to find the basket. St. Nicholas took an early lead and held on throughout the game, securing a 28-20 victory.
Evan Jennings led the Cardinals with 11 points, while Cam Walke added 9. Despite the loss, the Cardinals will look to bounce back when they return to their home court Thursday evening to face South Ripley.
