It was a game...

Senior Citizens: J. Haley, M. Scott, J. Schultz, and J. Kolb

...that pitted Stedsmen against Stedsmen; roommate against roommate; brother against brother. It was a showdown between the two St Ed's "B Team" basketball teams. Yes, St. Ed's B2 team took on St. Ed's Senior Citizens team. An eye witness to the battle reported:

The game was a defensive struggle from the get go.  The first half ended with a score of 13-8. Shot after shot soared through the open air; only to find more open air. The second half opened with a flurry of scoring by the Senior Citizens,  ballooning their lead to a comfortable 16-8. The highlight of the night was a punishing coast to coast drive by Zach Daniel, who played with unmatched intensity.  When the dust and fireworks settled,  the Seniors, bouyed by the experience of their seasoned veterans, emerged victorious. The final score was 30-26, a real barn-burner. 

On the epic win, Josh Schultz, Sted's senior and member of the Senior Citizens squad, said, "The young bucks were gunning for us, but we wore them down with tough D, and an unheard of 10% shooting percentage from the 3. It was truly a triumph of the human spirit."
