The ROUX: Game of the Week
Results for the Game of the Week:
St. Thomas Aquinas 72
Christian Life Academy 59
A packed house at CLA witnessed the crowning of a new #1 on the Roux’s top ten. The Crusaders came out of the gate strong with a 10-5 first quarter lead; however the Falcons turned their intensity up a notch and never looked back. The Falcons’ tenacious defense and quick penetrating offense caught the Crusader players off guard and helped the Falcons reach leads of 20+ points during the game. A late run led by #1 in c/o 2010 Langston Galloway helped close the gap to 10 points but that was as close as the Crusaders could get, as Thad Showers and the Falcons held on to win by 13. Showers provided 23 points for the Falcons and c/o 2009 #2 Raymone Andrews led Coach Errol Gauff’s high intensity defense which wrecked havoc on the Crusaders all night.
