Friday night the Angels hosted Martin Luther and unfortunately failed to find any rhythm on offense and defense as they were defeated by the Spartans 64-24. Ariana Green led the team with 12 points and 9 rebounds while Aniyah Price added 5 points.
Boys Basketball
In a Metro Classic Conference matchup Wednesday night the Angels hosted The Prairie School. The Angels found themselves down early as Prairie came out playing great defense and some even better offense. However in the last 9 minutes of the first half the Angels went on a 32-9 run to take the lead into halftime. In the 2nd half the Angels couldn’t pull away but kept a comfortable lead all 2nd half to defeat the Hawks 71-54. Evan Moherek led the team with 21 points while Lamont Hamilton had 19 and Domonic Pitts had 12.
Saturday afternoon the Angels traveled to Martin Luther for what would turn out to be a very challenging Metro Classic Conference game. While the Angels held the lead for most of the game, they found themselves tied with 5 seconds to go. Lamont Hamilton took the ball to the rim for the final basket of the game as the Angels defeated the Spartans 56-54. Davion Thomas-Kumpula led the team with 18 points while Lamont Hamilton and Domonic Pitts each had 14.
