Weekly Sports Update

March 1, 2010

Hockey

The Titans defeated Maumee 6-0 last week, then fell to Northview in District semis to bring their season to a close.

Despite a Nick Walla goal to make it 4-3 in the third period, Northview was able to withstand multiple chances by the Titans to hold on to the victory.

Down 2-0 in the first, the Titans scored twice in 13 seconds.  Kyle Knox took the puck to the net, then Eric Brown slipped one past the Wildcat goalie on an assist from Walla. Northview took the lead late in the first quarter, 3-2.

There was no scoring in the second period, setting up the frenetic finale in the third period.

Basketball

The Knights were totally on their game for four quarters last night as they defeated the Titans 72-63. Despite Jay Springs scoring 29 points and Cheatham Norrils and TJ Gillespie adding 13 each, St. Francis controlled the paint, hit jumpers and made free throws to upset the Titans.

The Titans play again next Friday against Clay in a sectional matchup.

On Friday, Feb 19, divers Bill Magill and Alex Vogel competed in a field of 19 divers. Bill finished in 2nd place by accumulating 343.25 points and while Alex captured 5th with 318.95 points.

Saturday, Feb 20 was the swimmer's turn and solid performances were put in by all.

Connor Herman was a double winner by taking 1st in both the 200 IM and 500 free. Connor previously held the school record for the fastest 500 swim and he broke that record by over 3 seconds. His 200 IM swim moved him to the second fastest in SJJ history.

Also placing in the 500 free was Mickey McGoldrick who captured 3rd. Mickey's swim put him in 2nd place for fastest 500 swim.

Several other swimmers placed in scoring positions at Districts while also distinguishing themselves as top ten SJJ swimmers. Most notably, David Bradfield's 100 breast swim put him in 3rd place at Districts and at 2nd place in the top ten swims.
