Better than the Bulls in back-to-backs

A little alliteration in the title for you. What it means is that the CHESS Patriots won their second game of the year in the second game of two games on consecutive days. This was also the Patriots second and last "home" game, home being the Elim Christian School's gym in Palos Heights. Tonight's opponent was the JV/JH team from Home Run Kids in Gurnee, IL.

The Patriots won handily, 32-11, setting a season high for points scored. The girls jumped out early, leading 10-3 after one quarter and 20-5 at halftime. The third quarter was even as the shots stopped dropping, but the girls reestablished themselves in the fourth quarter, outscoring the HRK's by 8-2.

Kara B. led all scorers with 12, followed by Mary B. with 8, Michele D. and Jackie A. with four each, and Julia J. and Cassidy S. with a basket apiece. My highly unofficial rebounding numbers had Kara with 9, Becca D. with 8, Alyssa D. with 6 and Jackie had 5. Mary led all players with five assists.

Next week the Patriots take on Granger in South Bend, IN at 4:00 on Tuesday, January 8 and at Victory Christian in Valparaiso (the second game against them this year) at 5:00 on Friday, January 11. Hope you all can make it to these games.
