They then continued that strong defense in a 63-33 win over Indian Hills.

To finish out the 8-team tournament, the boys captured the championship over host school St.Mary’s with a 79-44 win.

Jake Belli was DOMINANT in this tournament and captured the MVP honors.

Belli on his team’s efforts, “I thought we played very well together throughout the 3 games.” He added, “The championship was definitely a good way to leave 2018, but we need to continue to focus as we have many more obstacles to overcome in 2019.”
