Longest winning streak of the season

Three in a row. That sounds good. Especially when it's three wins in a row.

Last night the Patriots held off a scrappy Christian Hills Academy team, 20-13, to extend the winning streak to three. The Patriots' record is now 6-7 for the season.

The game started slowly, as both teams were playing solid defense. The score was Patriots, 4-2 at the end of one quarter. The second quarter saw much of the same, with each team scoring two baskets for a halftime score of 8-6. The third quarter was dominated by the Patriots, outscoring Christian Hills 10-1. Mary drove the lane several times, and Jackie got a couple of baskets. Christian Hills really cranked up the defensive pressure in the fourth, outscoring our girls, 6-2, but the game was in hand by this time.

Stats are as follows: Mary led in scoring with 12, Jackie had 6 and Michele had 2. Jackie was the leading rebounder with 10, followed by Mary with 7 and Michele with 5. Michele had 2 assists while Mary and Becca each had one.

Only one day off and then the girls will be back at it at Trinity of Kankakee, at the Kankakee Community Resource Center, 150 N. Indiana Ave. at 6:30. Note the time; the game was originally scheduled for 7:30. See you there.
