Coming off a solid week of practice, the All Saints Cougars took on the Vassar Vulcans at their home gym. For the now 12-6 Cougars, the game couldn't have gone any better defensively.
As soon as #34 Mario Walker won the tip-off for All Saints, the Cougars went to work. Smart plays from the Cougar starters, mixed in with a few 3-pointers from #20 Adam Pijaszek, put the Cougars up early.

While the Cougars successfully capitalized on offense, they played just as well; if not better, on defense. Strong defense from #33 BJ Weaver and the other Cougars, along with impressive rebounding allowed All Saints to capture the 1st period 17-8.
BJ Weaver and Mario Walker combine to hold Vassar's Troy Hecht to only 6pts.

At the end of the first half the Cougars held the lead 34-24.

Leaving nothing to chance, the lethal Cougar offense pounced on every chance they were given, and scored almost every drive in the third period. Thanks to a "high level of defense" as coach Mike Showalter later said; the Cougars were able to secure the game with the score at 52-36 at the end of the third.
With the intensive face of the game - Aaron Janer puts up another 2pts!

Sticking to their high standard of defense, the Cougars protected their lead, and even managed a few breakaway shots off of rebounds. After 8 minutes of tight defense, the Cougars pocketed their 12th season win 69-54. The Cougars have two more games next week before district play begins. Coach Mike Showalter attributed the win to "moving the ball well", and also said that the "key was defense."
Cougars Fans are all smiles after this victory! (Amanda DeWyse, Chelsie Niemiec and Mia Banaszek who led the girls bowling team to a Regional victory with a 534 series)
