Basketball Recap: Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy Snags 17th Win in Last 18 Games

With a playoff win on the line, Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy rose to the challenge on Saturday. They enjoyed a cozy 61-46 win over the Clairton Bears. Given the WolfPack's advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 76th, while the Bears are ranked 217th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy is on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 18 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 25-2 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 29.5 points. This is the second loss in a row for Clairton and nudges their season record down to 19-6.

Coming up, Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy will face off against DuBois Central Catholic on Wednesday. DuBois Central Catholic will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy surely won't give up without a fight. Clairton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
