Freshman squad: pointing again
The “always down” Sted’s freshmen basketball squad, “Fresh Meat,” recently played a Keough Hall squad, who was not only undefeated in conference play but also victorious against the same Keenan squad that had destroyed Fresh Meat by 50. Here is an eye witness as well as an on the court account of the game.
Fresh Meat started out strong and got up to an early lead thanks to out tough 2-3 zone defense. The game went back and forth. Greg Trinkl scored 15 points including some huge 3 pointers. Schelhorn was second in scoring with 13 points.
Posting these points DID NOT discouraged our opponent, and so, the game came down to the wire. With 11 seconds left and Fresh Meat down 43-42, Chris Rho went to the line to shoot a pair of free throws. Sinking the first but missing the second, Schelhorn got the rebound and scored a basket with around 8 seconds left.
With eight seconds too many on the clock, the Keough squad still had a chance, but those chances were quickly dash like a gambler throwing snake eyes at a craps table in a cheap Reno casino as Chris Rho redeemed himself with a steal. With time gone, the team rushed the court and celebrated their hard fought and FIRST victory.
On the upset win, Schelhorn said, ”We wanted to prove to all the haters that we could play in this division and could excel. This win is the start of next season's championship run."
