[December 06, 2016]    The Crusaders of Carroll Catholic/NewHolland-Middletwon/Zion Lutheran Schools traveled to Normal Epiphany Monday evening for seventh and eighth grade games.

 

In the seventh grade contest, the Crusaders pulled out a 43-29 victory, with a balanced scoring effort, led by Trent Koehler with 17 points, Andrew Graue with 15 and Drew McCray with 11. The win moved the Crusaders to 9-4 on the season.

In the 8th grade contest, which matched up the state champions from last year, in the Knights from Epiphany, with the Crusaders from CCS/NHM/ZLS, who finished 2nd in the state. The game did not fail to live up to its hype. In a close game, the Crusaders failed to pull out the victory, ultimately losing by a score of 49-46.

The Crusaders had one last chance to tie the game after Dylan Singleton stole an in-bounds pass and dribbled out to shoot an unbalanced 3-pointer as time expired. The Crusaders were led in scoring by Singleton with 25 points. Rounding out the scoring was Andrew Graue with nine, Jared Helton with five, Trent Koehler with four and Nathan Fulscher with three. The Crusaders drop their first game of the season and fall to 12-1.

We will travel to Springfield to play Blessed Sacrament Tuesday (today) with the seventh-graders kicking things off at 6 p.m.
