Angels in the hunt for a 7th title in school history. They meet the winner of Columbia Rock Bridge and Blue Springs of Kansas City.
Sydney Stipanovich and Erin Nelson have accomplished many things during their brilliant high school basketball careers. But winning a Missouri Class 5 state title has not been one of them. The Angels of St. Joseph’s Academy are 32-minutes away from winning their first title since 2004 and a 7th in school history. Their opponent will be either Columbia Rock Bridge or Blue Springs. They beat Blue Springs but lost to Rock Bridge earlier this year. The duo of Stipanovich and Nelson blew the doors off the Cor Jesu Academy defense. The two combined for 37 points. Nelson had a game high 20 points; Stipanovich had 17 before both took a seat with two minutes left in the game. What a night for Stpo, headed to the basketball program at the University…

Sydney Stipanovich and Erin Nelson combine for 36 points to defeat Parkway South 72-43 in the quarterfinals at Lindenwood University.
There’s a little secret about the St. Joseph’s Academy basketball team. The performances by the mainstays on the front line--center Sydney Stipanovich and forward Erin Nelson are obvious. The twin performers dominated Parkway South from beginning to end to win the Class 5 quarterfinal game at Lindenwood University Saturday in convincing style over Parkway South, 72-43. Stipanovich had a double-double; 20 points and 16 rebounds. Ten of the 16 boards came in the first half. Nelson recorded 18 points in the route of the Patriots. The Angels earned a spot in Friday night’s Class 5 semifinals in the Show-Me Showdown at Mizzou Arena in Columbia against the winner of Cor Jesu or Hazelwood Central. But the little secret is that without the …

Angels face Jackson Missouri while MICDS tangles with unbeaten Incarnate Word.
By a quirk of fate, it will be MICDS, not St. Joseph’s Academy playing Incarnate Word Academy in the state sectional game of the Missouri basketball tournament tomorrow night. The game is between MICDS (24-2) and IWA (27-0) at Parkway West at 7:45 p.m. IWA, long a class 5 team (like St. Joe) dropped its enrollment and became a class 4 team this season. That is good news for the St. Joe Angels, but not so much for the MICDS Rams. The Rams defense will have to find a way to slow up sophomore sensation Napheesa Collier, the top scorer in the Metro. The combined averages of MICDS’ top scorers Emily Kyman, 11.9, Taylor Baur, 9.9 and Caroline Militello 7.8 are just slightly higher than Colliers 24.7 points per game. Rams coach Scott Small takes …

Fast Start Angels steamroll Nerinx 58-44 for Class 3, District 2 title at Ladue.
Alright coach, where’s the beef? It’s one thing that St. Joseph’s Academy (20-5) beat nemesis Nerinx Hall (17-11) at Ladue last night 58-44 for the Class 5, District 2 basketball title. But almost as important--where is that Lion’s Choice Star of the game t-shirt? This may be the mystery of the universe. More game photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. At the end of the game, Angels’ coach Julie Matheny was presented the Lions Choice gray shirt in recognition of Sydney Stipanovich’s 16-point performance. Matheny had this to say: “This is spectacular. She (Sydney) will love it. I Imagine we will never be able to take it off of her.” When asked about receiving this award from the Prepcasts Broadcast Network, Stipanovich was like a deer…

Sophomore Napheesa Collier pours through 24 points for the visiting Red Knights.
For the St. Joseph’s Academy basketball team, the frustration continues. The Angles have managed just one win over Incarnate Word Academy in the last 10 games or so, and that was on the Angels' home floor two years ago. Incarnate has a newcomer to the game, sophomore 6-foot-1 Napheesa Collier who leads the area in scoring with a 24.3 average. More photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. The Angels double teamed IWA’s post player, front and back and held her to just 4-first half points. But Dan Rolfes, coach of the Red Knights turned her loose in the second half and she scored a game high 24. The Knights departed SJA with a convincing 56-44 win. The game was pure frustration for senior center Sydney Stipanovich of St. Joe who fouled …

Angels are still ranked No. 2 in the area, and No. 2 in state, despite suffering first loss of the season in the Viz championship game. Carthage is 10-2 after a second-place finish at the Neosho Tournament.
Just about every time the St. Joseph's Academy girls basketball team takes the floor, they will be the featured attraction. No matter how big or prestigious the event is, the St. Joe girls almost always draw top billing. It was that way at the Visitation Holiday Tournament over the break, where the Angels went 3-1 and took second place, following a championship game loss to No. 1 Incarnate Word Academy. And it will be that way again on Saturday at De Smet High, when St. Joe will play in the marquee matchup of the 5th Annual Prepcasts Elite Girls Basketball Shootout. against Carthage (MO) High. The Angels will match up against one of the top teams from the southwest Missouri area, Carthage High, which owns a 10-2 record this season, after …

Angels take second place at Viz for the third straight year, after losing to the Red Knights, who claimed their fifth straight Viz tourney title.
TOWN AND COUNTRY -- An intense, back-and-forth battle for the coveted championship trophy of the Visitation Academy Holiday Girls Basketball Tournament turned inside out against St. Joseph’s Academy on Friday. The Angels were ahead 9-8 at the end of the first quarter, and even enjoyed a brief 11-10 lead early in the second quarter. But from that point on, the No. 1-ranked team in all of St. Louis area girls basketball -- Incarnate Word Academy -- controlled every aspect of the game, and was able to ease its way to a 49-34 win over St. Joe. Incarnate, which is now 10-0 and has been ranked as high as No. 10 in the nation by ESPN and other high school girls basketball polls, took control by outscoring the Angels 14-3 in the second quarter. St…
