St. Ed Senior Night Review

Post by Michael Deneen »

St. Edward (14-6) used 13 three pointers to beat Benedictine (18-3) 99-77 on an emotional Senior Night at St. Ed. Junior Jack Sullivan had five of those three pointers as part of his 17 point effort. But the night was about the Eagles' six seniors, five of which started the game.

Senior forward Matt Gonzalez, who doubles as a football wide receiver in the fall, had 13 points. Senior Sean Flannery, son of head coach Eric Flannery, had 15 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds. The most emotional moment of the night was when he exited the game in the fourth quarter, and was hugged by his dad coming off the court.

St. Edward will play its final regular season game Friday at St. Ignatius, then begin OHSAA tournament play next week.

We met this fascinating St. Ed faculty member in the crowd. I'll have a story about this Ghanian native in a future print edition of the paper.

Mike, Thanks for that FABULOUS shot of the cheerleaders! Wow, what amazing talent and skill of all those girls! It seems the media never show the cheerleaders in the videos/photos of the games. Yet these girls are terrific athletes as well, and have worked and trained very hard for a long time to be able to do stunts like these.

That is entirely thanks to Alex....he knows how to get action shots!

Yes, cheerleaders work very hard at their sport. We try our best to include them in our coverage.
I'll soon have some LHS Cheerleader news here on the Deck....they are planning a very "cool" fundraiser for Special Olympics.
