Bowling

The inaugural boys' bowling season came to an end last Saturday as the boys participated in the Region 4 Singles Tournament at Ten Pin Lanes.  Sam Edwards-Kuhn '16, (116, 147, & 148), J.D. Lanier '16 (135, 112, & 128), Ryan Petiprin '17 (90, 63, 155) and Forrest Wourms '16 (96, 106, 102) rolled three games, attempting to finish in the top eight to advance to the second round.  Alas, it just wasn't in the cards for the young Wyverns.  Our young Wyverns fought hard but too many splits and open frames and not enough strikes and spares got the best of them on this day.  Their growth was visible throughout the event, as players made approach adjustments and dot/arrow changes during the match.  Though they did not pull it off, their season was a success in many ways.  

The girls' bowling team is preparing for their final event of the season.  The City Tournament originally scheduled for January 25 but cancelled due to weather will be played tomorrow morning at Fern Valley Strikes and Spares. This event will conclude their season.  

Congratulations to both the boys' and girls' teams on a great season! Looking forward to next year.

Winter Sports Senior Night

This past Saturday, the Wyverns celebrated Senior Day for seven seniors and one exchange student at the boys' home basketball game against Robertson County.  The girls' basketball team has two seniors, Jessi Lowe and Kaitie Kramer.  Both students have spent the past two years at St. Francis. The girls also celebrated Fatima Ceballos, our foreign exchange student from Spain.  On the boys' side, three four-year players were celebrated: Kenny Gray, Len Adams and Cole Von Feldt.  Finally, we are proud to announce the celebration of the first four-year bowler in school history - Olivia Beres. Congratulations to all our seniors.  We wish you the best!  

Basketball

The Senior Day game against Robertson County was in a rematch from earlier this season. Although the Wyverns came up short, they fought a hard battle and showed signs of improvement. Cole Von Feldt led the team with 13 points and eight rebounds.

On Monday, the Wyverns took on KSD in another rematch from earlier in the season. Once again, the team was victorious, routing the opponent 61-32.  David Borders '16 scored a career high 23 points, including five 3-pointers, and collected five rebounds. Jaylon Hall '17 had a stellar performance as well, with six points, 11 steals, and 10 assists.  

The same night, the girls took to the court against KSD in a rematch of their match-up in December.  The Wyverns dropped the first game but were intent on getting some retribution.  St. Francis played tough in the first half but found themselves down 15-9 at halftime.  The Wyverns roared back in the second half behind an extremely stingy defensive effort, holding the Colonels scoreless in the third period while grabbing a slim lead.  They then allowed only two points in the fourth quarter to pull out an exciting 21-17 victory, their first of the season.  Gracie Edwards '16 and Jessi Lowe '14 led the charge, scoring six points apiece.  All the hard work has paid off for the 11 players on the team.

Tuesday, the boys' and girls' teams travelled to KCD to take on the Bearcats. Although the teams started strong, they weren't able to keep pace.  Stevie Mack '17 led the boys' team with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
