Basketball ends season 19-11

Late third-quarter run hurts Saints.
The varsity basketball team trailed by only eight points late in the third quarter, but Bishop O'Connell ripped off a 10-0 run en route to an 81-67 win for the host Knights Tuesday, February 28.

Sonny Bridges '25 poured in a game-high 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting, and Brandon Jennings '24 put up 17 points with six rebounds and three assists, but it was not enough to offset O'Connell's five players in double figures.

The Saints end their season in the first round of the state VISAA tourney, putting up 19 wins, one of the highest totals in the school's history. Eight seniors will depart the team after providing terrific leadership.

The Saints have several returning key members for the 2023-24 season, led by Jennings, Bridges and Darius Gray '26, who were regular starters all season, as the coaching staff looks forward to an even better campaign next season.
