Playing the Team Concept

The girls of St. Joseph's Academy are sticking pretty close to the vest and staying coy in talking about their team and their victories. Late Saturday night, the Angels roared out of the gate and led from wire to wire, beating mighty Edwardsville 53-39 in the late game of the Prepcasts CBC Girls Elite Shootout.

Maddie and Morgan Stock combined for 26 points, Maddie had 16 and Morgan 10. Sophomore Sydney Stipanovich broke double figures with 12. Senior Sophie Calcaterra saw extended playing time, especially in the first half when the game was in the balance.

In review, all of the girls talked about the team concept, stepping up and playing big and everyone rallying for the cause.

Julie Matheny, Angels; coach termed the game ugly in performance but very pleasing with the result on the scoreboard.

Above all, the Angels lost the last game of the Naples, Fl tournament over New Years so turning around the wins was fun for the entire squad.

Here's an extensive look at action from end to end at CBC Saturday night.
