The Batesville CYO Deanery championship game was a battle between the 2 best teams is the league and St. Louis would come up 3 points short of taking the title. All Saints would jumped out to earlier lead and led 15-10 after 1 quarter. We didn’t shoot the ball well and we weren’t able to keep them off the boards. In the 2nd quarter All Saints would extend their lead to 9 and lead 26-17 at halftime.
St. Louis would come in the 3rd quarter with more intensity and would outscore All Saints 18-7 and take 35-33 lead going into the final period. The 4th quarter say the lead change hands several times. In the end, St. Louis would come up a little short.
‘ We settled for jump too many jumps and didn’t get the ball inside enough. We needed to be more aggressive if we were going to win. If we would have played the 1st half like we played the 2nd half the outcome would have been different. These kids played their hearts out and I feel bad for them. They had a great season and unfortunately, we come up 3 points short. This was really a good group of kids and I enjoyed coaching them.’ Bruins Coach Roger Dietz.
