Nice game right out of the gate by the Breds. The former starting 5 from the 6th,7th, & 8th grade Holy Trinity Jr High teams (Hall, Pangallo, Iles, McDaniel, & Posey) outscore the Cru 54-51.

 

Both teams were less than stellar from the charity stripe tonight.

 

Fr. Wyatt Vieth from St. Henry is going to be one heck of a player.

 

Each time I watch the Breds Jalen McDaniel play, the more I REALLY like this kids game, tireless worker who just gets the job done.

MentschTrachtGottLacht had the pleasure of sitting with me this evening:lol2:, and nice of @Just Jim for coming over at halftime to say hi.

Rough start to the year for the Crusaders. Good thing NCC wasn't making their open shots in the first half or it could of been really ugly. At times it seemed St.Henry was playing 100 mph but going nowhere fast. Congrats to the Breds on the win.

A total of 40 fouls called tonight. Maybe a little rust on both sides of the whistle tonight.

I did mention in the updated thread it was "hack-fest". LOL

They have a priest on the roster?

That is funny, I don't care who you are. I believe that stands for Freshman

I read it as Father too at first. Hahaha

How did St. Henry's fab freshmen look in the JV game? Any chance of any of them getting Varsity minutes other than Vieth?

St. Henry jumped all over the Breds early, and the NewCath comeback fell short. Cru have nice players on JV.

 

JV final was.....

Did Jefferson not play?

Tyler Kaiser looked very solid, he'll be the last of the 3 to get to varsity, but I'd bet he gets some varsity minutes before the year is over.

 

Jude Bessler battled foul trouble, but was very active, has nice size, and will be on Varsity before Santa falls down a chimney. My hunch.

 

I realize this season is going to feel a bit like the Bataan Death March for SHDHS fans, but be buoyed by the fact that the future is very bright for the Cru. I could see a Regional Semifinal for the Cru in 2 or 3 years. The 7th grade group is solid for Cru-kids, and the 9th grade is their best in YEARS, so in 3 years, when they are in 10th and 12th, the Cru will be very solid depending on the development of the kids in those classes.

 

I will also add, this year's Cru team could REALLY use the Kunstek kid....what a difference that kid would make in terms of size and athleticism. Coach Faust has to see that kid roaming the halls and just shake his head.

Did Jefferson not play?

He played. Doesn't appear to be in basketball shape yet. I think he is coming off an injury as well. Not a lot of minutes for Caleb this year when you're playing behind a player the ilk of Brennan Hall.
