Congratulations!! You are the Champions!!

The LSU boys won one trophy when they finished in first place with a 10-2 record.  Last night they completed the job and won a second trophy when they beat Marquette 37-20 at the Bragg School in Chester to win the playoff championship trophy.

LSU coasted to victory last night after taking a 13-4 lead at the end of the first quarter.  The lead was extended to 23-8 at halftime and 31-12 after three quarters.  In the fourth quarter, we were able to experiment by starting the fourth quarter with a five man team of all fifth graders, who held their own against the Marquette starters.

The sixth graders finished the game by running out the clock for the most part over the last four minutes of the game.  Will Howes, Walter Rivas and Jesse Milesnick played their final minutes in the fifth and sixth grade division.  Will put the icing on the cake by hitting  a free throw with 1.8 seconds left.

Walter Rivas led all scorers with fifteen points.  Seven of the nine LSU players who played scored points.  The victory was a fitting end to an exciting season.  Congratulations to the LSU players and thank you to the LSU families for your support of the team.
