St. James boys win fourth in a row

February 6, 2010

St. James Academy took some lumps as it weathered its way through a daunting schedule during the first half of the boys basketball season.

Now the Thunder are hitting their stride.

They’ve won four games in a row, the latest being a 58-40 victory Friday at home against St. Pius (Mo.) X.

The Thunder raced to a 17-10 lead by the end of the first quarter and built a double-digit lead by halftime. They continued to pull away from there and coasted to the finish.

Clint McCullough led all scorers with 18 points, Mike Huppe had 17 and Jonathan Anaekwe added 13 for the Thunder.

St. James (10-6) next plays at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Baldwin before closing out the regular season with games against Eudora, Louisburg and Atchison.

Do you do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

“We are all Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. My family won the best in family floats in Shawnee’s St. Patrick’s Day parade a few years back. We got to have a big trophy for the year. My sons love throwing out candy on the parade route.”
