Sports Report:
Go Indians!
The boys' soccer team  fell to Evansville Memorial, 2-1, in the IHSAA Division 2A title game. The Indians showed tremendous resolve after falling behind 2-0 at halftime to tally the first goal of the second half and control the pace until the final whistle. The boys played with great heart and a fighting spirit we've come to expect from our Saint Joe teams. We are very proud of how the team conducted themselves both on and off the field, and in both victory and defeat.
Saint Joe football  dropped a hard-fought contest to Plymouth in the sectional semi-final. Despite falling behind 14-0 early the Indians scrapped their way back into the game, making it 14-12 in the 3rd quarter. Plymouth added two late scores as the Indians were desperately trying to complete their comeback, leading to a slightly misleading final tally of 28-12. The Indians came on hard down the stretch and played their best football late. Thank you to all of the seniors for your leadership and we look forward to seeing the team build on their positive momentum in the next season.

And that's a wrap for fall sports! Winter sports are underway with  girls' basketball  already starting their schedule. The girls split home games last week losing a close 64-62 contest to Merrillville before taking it to New Prairie and winning 61-38.
