Level 7 Boys Gold:
The boys were excited to get on the floor against Christ King this past week in the first game of the St. Mary's Hales Corners tournament. The boys found themselves up by double digits at the half. The boys continued their journey to a win, thanks to solid shooting by Keagan Michelich (18 points) and Ethan Potthast (14 points). Aggressive defense helped the team. Noah Thompson, Eli Wintheiser, and Isaaq Qureshi each sank a couple of shots to contribute to the win against Christ King, 44-33.
In the second game of the tournament, the team faced off against St. Mary Menomonee Falls. BA jumped out to an early lead and was up by one point at the half, with a last second shot by Ethan Potthast. However, St. Mary Menomonee Falls stormed back and took the lead in the second half. The boys struggled with the press and zone defense from St. Mary's and lost 55-36.
The final tournament game against St. Roberts began with a steal by Noah Thompson. This started the momentum that continued throughout the game. Eli Wintheiser swatted away numerous shots, and the team effort on the defensive side of the court was phenomenal. The energy in this game was off the charts. Keagan Michelich knocked in three consecutive three-pointers to ice the game. He had 17 points total. The final score was 30-9. A great team win for BA sealed third place in the tournament to bring home some trophies.
