The Cardinals took on the Trojans of St. Nicholas on Tuesday, November 20th at St. Nicholas.  The Cardinals ended up losing by a final score of 27-16.  The Cardinals were down at halftime by a score of 17-6.  The boys played with a lot of heart and hustle in the second half would have been right in the game if a few of their shots would have fallen.  The Cardinals placed 4 players in the scoring column led by Ben Miller with 12 points, Adam Meer with 2 points, and Ryan Duerstock and Sam Laloge with 1 point.  The Cardinals did a great job of rebounding and were led by Laloge’s 8 rebounds.  Duerstock and Max Amberger finished with 6 rebounds while Meer notched 5 rebounds.  Others collecting rebounds were Christian Mack, Max Richardson, Zavier Tekulve, and Mark Meneses.  The boys are back in action on Monday, November 26th when they host Laurel at 6:00 pm.
