DELPHOS — St. John’s senior Curtis Geise had a bittersweet night.

He became the 13th Blue Jay boys basketball player to reach the 1,000-point mark for his varsity career Friday night against Midwest Athletic Conference rival (and Division III’s top team) St. Henry before the home folks at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium.

That was good.

The bad; the Redskins came out in the first period with a 20-9 spread and then held off every Blue Jay rally to emerge with a 71-57 victory to take over sole possession of the league lead (15-1, 5-0 MAC).
