It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Messmer can now relate to. They were beaten by the St. Catherine's Angels 89-49 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Bishops can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin basketball rankings (they are ranked 279th, while the Angels are ranked 129th).
St. Catherine's found their leader in freshman Jayda King, who dropped a double-double with 20 points and 13 boards. The dominant performance also gave King a new career-high in three-point shooting accuracy (75%). Londyn Pardo was another key player, shooting 50% from the field en route to 15 points and seven rebounds.
Messmer has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 16-10 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.3 points over those games. St. Catherine's has been performing well recently as they've won 12 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-8 record this season.
As of now, neither Messmer nor St. Catherine's have any future games scheduled.
