Basketball provided some dramatic battles on the court this week, resulting in some hard-won victories -- laced with some bitter disappointments.
Sacred Heart’s senior boys took on Melville Jan. 11, with a three team round robin tournament.
It was a rousing start. The Saints emerged victorious, surgically grinding Melville into the court with a 22 point pounding, served up by star point guard M.J. Saracho. Melville fought valiantly, but fell to the Saints. Ultimately, the game ended in a bitter loss for the Cobras, with the heated game ending in a 66-56 win for Sacred Heart.
Saints’ coach Garrett Karcha seemed pleased with the win.
“It was a good strong push, and we got it done for the first game,” he said.
The Saints couldn’t quite keep the momentum going against Yorkton Regional High Dchool, with a 76-46 loss.
Upcoming games: for the Saints include Jan. 18-19 against Sheldon Williams in Regina. The York City Classic comes home Feb. 1-2, co-hosted with Yorkton Regional High School. Feb 8-9, Lumsden. March 8-9 at Sacred Heart. March 15-16 are the regional playoffs with the Provincials March 22-23.
The Sacred Heart senior girls mopped the floor with SW Johnston at the Snowball Classic with the Saints winning 56-49.
