SEA Varsity Red Basketball Outstanding Progress

By Austin Macha

SEA Varsity Red is considered the top 7th and 8th grade basketball team in all of Wilmington, and quite frankly they are. St. Ed’s always seems to find a way to win, and they showed that in the St. John the Beloved tournament. Down 9 with about 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, starting PG Michael Wallace hits a 3 pointer a few feet short from half court. The Lancers force a turnover on the other end and before they know it, SEA brought it back with in 2 points. 5 seconds to go Wallace penetrates the lane dishes it to starting G Austin Macha, F Will Lock makes a beautiful cut to the basket and scores. Lock sends the game into OT, 38-38. St. Edmonds Lancers went on the beat their long time rival St. John the Beloved in an OT thriller.

Varsity Red has won there past 2 tournaments and haven’t lost a game in more than a month. Counting all the tournaments, scrimmages, and league games Varsity Red is about 23-5. They have high expectations for the future. The CYO playoffs and the Salesianum invitational is coming up and Coach Bubba is eager for a 2 peat in both of those upcoming events.

I caught starting PF Dominic Marra in the halls he said “If our team plays up to potential and all 5 starters are on there game, we can blow out any team.”

We hope to see success in this team in the future. Good luck Varsity Red.

Kevin Ware Injury Update

As you know Kevin Ware had a gruesome injury in the first half of the Louisville vs Duke game. It happened when Kevin Ware was closing out on a three point shot trying to contest it. He landed awkwardly on his right leg and we think his tibia came out of its socket and drove through his skin and his bone was outside his leg. His teammates broke down in tears… everyone did from coaches to players, probably even fans too. But now he is doing better, so we can be happy again.

The Heat have now won 16 games in a row. They have beat the Raptors, Bobcats, Rockets, Clippers, Lakers, Trail Blazers, Thunder, Hawks, Bulls, Sixers, Cavaliers, Kings, Grizzlies, Knicks, Timberwolves, and Magic, all in that order. Also in the first 6 games LeBron James scored 30 points in each game and shot 60%+ in all of them. The Heat are the best team in the NBA and they are on fire.

LeBron; Youngest To 20,000

There are many prestigious awards in basketball, 30,000 points, making it to the Hall Of Fame. This is a start for LeBron James, being the youngest player to ever score 20,000 points in the history of basketball. That is a very amazing accomplishment for himself because he beat the last record, Kobe Bryant at 29 years and 122 days. LeBron James was only 28 years and 17 days. This wasn’t meant to be a long story but I just wanted to recognize LeBron James for this amazing accomplishment. While I’m still here though I will tell you that he also reached 5,000 assists last night too.

Thanksgiving Tournament

The Saint Edmonds Academy thanksgiving tournament went very well for the Varsity red team. There were 16 teams in this tournament. The varsity red team finished second out of 16 teams. Our first game we won by forfeit to Holy Savior because they didn’t have enough players. The second game we won to Saint John. Chrystom. For the semi finals we beat Saint John the Beloved by 5 or 6. The championship we played St. Thomas of the Apostle it was a close one. But St. Thomas pulled out the win by 3.
