Junior Davon Wiley scored a game-high 19 points in the win over St Stephens/St Agnes on Monday
Bishop Ireton’s road weary Cardinals (2-1) showed little sign of fatigue in their third straight game away from Cambridge Road in a 58-36 dismantling of St Stephens/St Agnes School Monday night in Goodwin Gym.
St Stephens (0-1) grabbed their only lead of the night at 3-0, before Davon Wiley tied the game at 3 enroute to scoring Ireton’s first 8 points, part of his game-high 19 that he contributed in the win. Easily his best game of the young season, the 6′ 3″ junior dropped a pair of three-point shots and a dunk on the Saints and generally played well on both ends of the floor throughout the game.
While the Saints’ first outing was a cold shooting one for home team, the Cardinals in their third game lit the scoreboard up racing to a 21-7 advantage in the first period. Buoyed by the Wiley dunk in the second quarter, the Cardinals dominated the glass and quickly got into the attack to balloon the lead to 31-8 with 3:31 left in the half. Following a time out, the clubs traded hoops, but that was little consolation as the home team went to the locker room down 39-16.
Ireton extended the lead to 43-16 to open the third quarter, a ragged one that saw turnovers on both ends of the floor, but Ireton holding a 50-24 advantage after 3 quarters enroute to the final score.
Junior Louie Khouri added 10 for Ireton with a pair of three-pointers, while sophomore Tyler McHugh had a good night with 9, Dan Noe chipped in 5, as did senior Malcolm Westbrook, and five more Cardinals added a duce. Phil Guglielmo led the Saints scoring with 10, including a pair of three-balls, while Justin Goldsborough had 8 and Steward 6. While Ireton converted only 8 of 14 free throws, the Saints managed only 5 of 17 on the night, adding to their first night woes.
The Cardinals open their home schedule Wednesday night, as the back end of a girl/boy varsity doubleheader. While the girls entertain the Cubs of Visitation in the opener at 5pm, the boys will host the Wolves of Pope John Paul the Great in a rematch of their season opener at the Flint Hill tournament last Friday afternoon, the first of a five-game homestand the Cardinals will play before the holiday break.
