Bowling

The boys' and girls' bowling teams are playing their final week of the regular season.  Early week matches were cancelled due to the inclement weather.  The teams have been practicing in preparation for the City Tournament that will be held tomorrow at Dixie Bowl.  This is the final tune-up tournament before the regional tournament starts next week.  

The City Tournament matches all teams within the city limits of Louisville to see who is the best.  The tournament separates participants into seven team pools to seed the single-elimination tournament.  Teams bowl six bakers against all other teams in their pool, and their tournament position is dependent on how well they perform.  Once brackets are set, teams are eliminated round by round until only one remains.  This will mark the first season the Wyverns will participate in the event.  

Basketball

The boys' basketball team took on North Bullitt last Thursday night at St. Stephen's. The Eagles commanded an early lead and never relinquished it in spite of a valiant effort by St. Francis.  After trailing by six at halftime, the Wyverns pulled within four, but turnovers and missed free throws proved fatal as they lost 56-42. Despite losing, the boys showed toughness and improvement and are showing signs of becoming a real team. Stevie Mack '17 had four points and seven rebounds along with a career-high nine blocks for the Wyverns, and fellow freshman Jaylon Hall added 12 points.

The Wyverns suffered another tough loss on Saturday, faltering down the stretch to lose on the road to Williamstown 67-63. Jaylon Hall had a season-high 20 points and Len Adams '14 scored 14 points to go along with eight rebounds. The loss drops the Wyverns to 8-6 on the season.  While it was a tough loss, the team was commended, via phone message from the opposing coach, for their great show of character.  He gave a glowing review of our team, coaches and fans at the game.  

After suffering back-to-back losses for only the second time this season, St. Francis bounced back with a resounding victory in the first round of the All "A" Tournament against Brown. The game was controlled by the Wyverns from the opening tip until the final buzzer sounded, with a final score of 66-44. Jaylon Hall had another stellar game, scoring 18 points to go along with six assists and five rebounds. Greg Hamilton '15 added 17 points and Len Adams pitched in with 14.

All "A" Regional Tournaments are held throughout the 16 regions in Kentucky for the smallest 120 schools in the Commonwealth.  Regional champions will meet next week in Richmond, KY for the state tournament.  Up next for the Wyverns is a semifinal match against Collegiate tonight at 8:00 at KCD. Come on out and support the team as they look to get revenge on the Titans for a close loss suffered earlier this season.

The girls' team took on Christian Academy of Indiana last week.  After a slow start, they held CAI to only 11 points in the second half.  Mariah Curtis '14 was the team's leading scorer.  On Saturday, they hosted Beth Haven and got off to a great start, but fell behind midway through the second quarter and could not find a way to battle back.  

The girls' All "A" Tournament matchup was also against Brown, and the team was looking for the win after losing by only four to Brown earlier in the season.  Unfortunately, Brown pulled out a second win against the Wyverns.

Next up for the girls is an away game at Atherton on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.  Come support our Wyverns!
