Lady 'Stangs Fail to Overcome Hot Shooting Pandas, Outscored 27-9 From Beyond The Arc. Smith (POG) 22, Eviston 18.
Our Lady ‘Stangs playing without the services of our 3-Point shooter, Graylee Kramer (she did make very brief appearances), were outscored in the decisive first half 18-0 from beyond the arc, giving the Pandas an advantage they would not relinquish. A 17-11 advantage in the third quarter provided Notre Dame with a 54-36 lead. To our girls credit, we rallied to outscore the leaders 17-9 down the stretch to cut the margin to six, but the Pandas hit their free-throws down the stretch to prevail 63-53. Kylie Smith (22) and Hadley Eviston (18) combined for 40 of our 53 points. Joslyn Humphrey and Emma Holzapfel led the Pandas with 15 and 13 respectively.
Mustangs Get A Rare Formality Game, Roll Past 14-8 Eminence 79-38. Drew Steffen hits five 3's (11 in 18 Hours) To Lead Mustangs With 21.
Congrats To Senior Jorge Somoza, Scoring His First Varsity Points.

Coming off of an emotional one-point loss to St. Henry, before a large, loud crowd eighteen hours prior, and playing a team that we were not familiar with that sported a 14 wins record, before a friends and family crowd in the middle of the afternoon, left questions to be answered. Still stinging from the near-miss the night before, we bolted from the gate, ran out to a quick 12 to 2 lead, and never were threatened in this one.
Drew Steffen remained on a torrid shooting spree, adding five more 3-pointers to his 51 that he came into the game with. This is a total of 24 3-Pointers since the Gallatin County game back on January 19th – five games ago. Nick Cozzi put up 12 of his 16 points in the first half, and Beckett Kuntz was our third double-figure scorer with 10 points as eleven Mustangs put numbers on the scoreboard in winning our 11th game of the season. Congrats to our favorite Exchange Student, Senior Jorge Somoza, who etched his name in the St. Mary/Bishop Brossart annals by scoring his first varsity points in the Eminence game.
Our JV Team won their fifth game in a row with a 53-40 win over the Eminence JVs.
We will finally play the Calvary Christian game this coming Monday night in Taylor Mill with JV and Varsity action at 6pm and 7:30pm. The prize for a win is the Sole Possession of the 37th District Top Seed.
Mustangs Hot Early, Cru Hot Late, Prevail 62-61

The absence of Senior Carson Hesse played large in this one as late in the game, Cru big man Caden Kunstek went to war inside putting up 17 of his game-high 23 points in the second half, paving the way for the Cru to overcome a 10 point halftime deficit and poke a nose in front at 62-61 with only 28 seconds remaining in the game. It was their first lead since being up 7-5 back in the first quarter.
Early on in this one the Mustangs put on a shooting exhibition as Drew Steffen nailed four 3’s, Beckett Kuntz hit two of them, and Brady Brouske dropped in one. The second half would see a reversal of sort as it would be St. Henry who would drop five 3’s to our two as the Cru fought back to post the one-point win. Kunstek led all scorers with 23 points and Tyler Detzel added 10 for Tim Sullivan’s Cru. Drew Steffen put up 22 that included six 3’s and Beckett Kuntz 12 in the losing effort.
In what I though was one of the best JV games played in quite a while, our two teams traded punches, seeing the score tied at 32 at the end of the third quarter, and the homestanding Mustangs draw off late to post the 53-44 NKAC DivII victory. Jake Bricking and Wyatt Feldman led all scorers with 16 each, and Derek Bezold tossed in 12. Sam Duckworth led the Cru effort with 10.
Freshmen bow out of the NoKyFreshman Tournament with a 53-33 loss to Lloyd and conclude the season with an 8-16 record.
