On what was already a special night, Guerin Catholic took care of Lapel 62-53 Friday at the Eagles Nest.
The Golden Eagles honored former coach Pete Smith, who retired last season, as well as former players and assistant coaches. Guerin also honored its 2012 and 2015 state champion teams.
The Golden Eagles dominated the first quarter, leading 19-3 after the game’s first eight minutes. The Bulldogs came back to within 28-17 by halftime, but GC was able to extend the lead to 43-29 after three quarter, then hung on during a high-scoring fourth period.
Four Guerin Catholic players reached double figures, led by Kian Sills’ 19 points; Sills hit five 3-pointers in the game. Bernie McGuinness added 14 points, while Luke Godfrey scored 12 and Joseph Bobilya had 10. Godfrey led the rebounding with eight and McGuinness collected six. Matt Parenteau handed out four assists.
The Golden Eagles are 4-4 for the season and play next weekend at the McDonald’s Hoosier Hysteria Tournament at Vincennes Lincoln. Guerin will play in the event’s first game, taking on Evansville Day at 4 p.m. next Friday.
