Basketball recap boys game 5

Saints Run Out of Gas at Coon Rapids
    Last Saturday (Dec. 9th), our Salem A boys basketball team traveled to Coon Rapids to take on the Cross of Christ Cougars. Coming off an exciting, well-played home game the night before, both Neal Anderson and I knew it would be a great challenge to get our young team to bring the focus and intensity for this Saturday game. Cross of Christ is a very physical, much improved basketball team from last year. Right from the opening tip, the size and experience of the Cougars wore down our young Saints. Although we were without two key post players (sickness and injury) for nearly the entire game, our undersized Saints battled hard right until the bitter end. When the final buzzer sounded, the physical dominance of the Cougars resulted in a 20-42 defeat for our Salem boys.
    In our practices this week, our boys have played with a rejuvenated demeanor as we prepare for our big home game against Christ Lutheran of North St. Paul. If our Saints come out and compete as hard as last Friday, it will be another extremely fun night of basketball. I encourage everyone to come cheer on our Saints this Friday as we take on Christ Lutheran, starting at 6:30 for the girls and 7:30 for the boys!
