Final. Villa led the entire game until the Crusaders took the lead for good with about 4 minutes left.

Knew this would be a tough game, even if SH hadn't gone to OT with Boone the night before. Villa is more than a one man show this year. Bryan sharing the ball keeps his teammates in the game and they are a good team this year. Thought Bessler and/or Carroll would have big night as guards would have their hands full with Bryan and Shuhe.

Villa Madonna (6-8) - Kurzendoerfus 1 0 2, McLean 2 1 6, Steinkoenig 1 0 2, Bryan 5 11 22, Schuh 3 4 12, Phelps 2 0 5. Totals 14 16 49.

 

St. Henry (8-7) - Barnett 1 5 7, Anderson 4 1 12, Seifried 0 3 3, Tobergte 1 0 2, Bessler 4 11 19, Carroll 4 3 11, Thorburn 1 0 2. Totals 15 23 56.

 

Villa Madonna 15 13 12 9 -49

St. Henry 9 15 13 19 -56

 

3-pointers: VM 5 (Schuh 2, Phelps, McLean, Bryan); SH 3 (Anderson 3).

Good win for the CRU after very tough overtime win over Boone. The 4th quarter lineup that came out for them looked real good and really wore out Villa in the end. Go luck against Newport in the " ALL A".

Bessler really stepped up late in the game to help St. Henry pull out the win.
