Game Highlights: No shooting from the logo in this game but lots of back and forth running from basket to basket as the girls worked to get the ball in the hoop.  St. Pius X Scored 6 early in the second quarter to go ahead by 6 and added 4 in the third quarter to lead St. Cecilia by 8 going into the fourth quarter.

St. Cecilia came alive in the fourth quarter scoring 6 toward the end, behind by 2 with 1:18 left to go.  With 40.5 left in the game, Audrey was fouled and the Cyclones got another chance to inbound the ball under their basket.  The Panthers grabbed it and headed to the other end stepping out of bounds.  St. Cecilia made several attempts to get the ball through the hoop.  With 8 seconds on the clock, the Panthers, Sophia, shot two free throws swishing them both like Caitlyn Clark on a Friday night.

With .09 seconds, St. Cecilia’s Audrey had two shots, but the basket continued to evade the Cyclones today.
