St. Benedict demonstrated today why they are one of the best teams in the North Central Parish League, with a shooting exhibition against St. Hilary. The Cardinals played a much better game than they did in their season-opening loss to a St. Benedict team that outscored them 31-5 back on November 20, but it still wasn’t enough to stop this impressive Bengals team.
Leading the way for the Cardinals were Gaby with 8 points and Alice with 7 points. This was Alice’s highest scoring game yet, and she was responsible for St. Hilary’s first 7 points of the game. This game was closer than the score indicates. If St. Hilary had been able to convert a few more of the nice looks they got in near the basket, they would have made quite a contest of it, but they just weren’t getting enough of those shots to drop today.
St. Hilary finishes the regular season with an 8-9 record while St. Benedict improved to 11-4. Coming off a 5-day stretch in which they played the two best teams in their division, let’s hope the St. Hilary girls are prepared to make a good showing in the playoffs which start this week.
