St. John’s boys basketball coach hopes his Blue Jays can keep up the good play that has marked their recent climb to 9-3; they will need to do so tonight as they welcome in Division III’s top-ranked St. Henry to The Vatican.
Across town at The Stage, Jefferson coach Marc Smith is just hoping no one else goes down as the Wildcats bring in Northwest Conference foe Paulding.

ST. JOHN’S/ST. HENRY
Elwer likes what his team has done as they climbed to the top of the Midwest Athletic Conference standings at 4-0.

“I like the pace and tempo we’ve been playing with offensively, how we’ve been playing crisp and clean. We’re not turning the ball over and executing our offense very well,” he asserted. “The same thing defensively; outside of a couple of games, I like how we’ve been defending people despite giving up some size generally. We’ve also been solid on the boards and that helps us play with a better tempo offensively.”
