  • Patriots out of MSC cellar

     

    The St. Catharine College Patriots won just one of the two games last week against Mid-South Conference visitors from Ohio, but that one victory was enough to pull J.T. Burton’s team from last place in the MSC into a tie for eighth place among the 11 teams.

    Shawnee State (9-7, 6-3) topped the Patriots 68-59 on Thursday, but St. Catharine snapped a three-game losing streak on Saturday with a 73-67 win over Rio Grande (6-12, 2-7).

  • Patriots’ coach upbeat despite...

     

    In listening to St. Catharine head coach J.T. Burton, one might suspect that his Patriots are on a winning streak – instead of the two game slide they endured last week. But the losses at Cumberland (Tenn.) and University of the Cumberlands haven’t broken the optimism of the Patriot mentor whose team fell to 7-7 overall and 1-5 in the Mid-South Conference.

    “I really believe that we are the best 1-5 team of any conference,” said Burton. “And Travis Wilkins is probably the best player in the nation right now.”

    With games last week at Cumberland University in Tennessee and University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, the St. Catharine women looked to narrow the gap between them and the Mid-South Conference leaders, and that is exactly what Lena Bramblett’s team did in winning both contests against nationally ranked opponents.

    The Patriots (9-4, 3-3) won a thrilling 81-79 decision at Cumberland on Thursday and followed that with a 60-57 win at Cumberlands on Saturday.

  • All-A matchups too tough to call


    Next Monday the Washington County boys’ and girls’ basketball teams will each have a chance to pick up big wins when they host Green County in a doubleheader in the opening round of the 5th Region All-A Classic.

    The Commanders (4-11) will take the court first at 6 p.m. against the Dragons (3-13), as the teams face off for the first time since they met in the first round of the 2009-10 5th Region All-A Classic. Green County took the last meeting 55-41, but WC will be looking to turn the tables this time around.
