It's playoff time, and St. Joseph Catholic had no trouble coming through when it counted. They took down the Sacred Heart Indians 41-27 on Friday. Given the Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 465th, while the Indians are ranked 1267th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead St. Joseph Catholic to victory, but perhaps none more so than Leah Hurley, who went 5-for-11 on her way to 14 points in addition to seven boards and six assists. That makes it five consecutive games in which Hurley has scored at least a third of St. Joseph Catholic's points. Gabi Roy was another key player, almost dropping a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds.
St. Joseph Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 24.1 points on average over those games. Sacred Heart's loss dropped their record down to 8-13.
St. Joseph Catholic has already played their next contest, a 37-24 win against Valor Preparatory Academy on the 26th. Sacred Heart does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
