St. Michaels Wins St. Anthony CrownMarcus McClary scored 28 points and Patrick Stryala added 22 points as St. Michaels defeated Good Sheppard Grammar School 70-60 to win the St. Anthony White Rose Tournament Championship. Temple Gibbs scored 22 and Nate Pierre Louis finished with 21 points for Good Sheppard in the loss.
MVPMarcus McClary Forward (St. Michaels)- McClary did his damage when attacking the rim from the foul line area and the baseline. He over powered the smaller GS defenders with high percentage shots. When he wasn’t scoring he was hitting the glass on both ends of the floor. Marcus was just too powerful to contain last night.
Other Standout Performers
Patrick Stryala Forward (St. Michaels)- Patrick was McClary’s partner in crime on the boards and scoring. The lumbering forward used a smooth touch and clever post smooth to score very easily. He played the high/low game well with McClary and should be a decent prospect down the line.
Temple Gibbs Guard (Good Sheppard)- Gibbs confidence is through the roof right now. His enhanced size and improved explosiveness was on full display last night. St. Michaels has no answer to him charging the lane and finishing at the cup. He also played the center spot on defense and even with being outsized he still managed to snatch several rebounds off the boards. We expect a high huge year from this kid.
Nate Pierre Louis Guard (Good Sheppard)- After getting only one touch the first quarter Pierre Louis caught fire and ended with 21 points. He was able to knockdown a couple of long treys but was determined to attack the basket. He does need to utilize his floater a little more especially when playing against older defenders.
