Seton Sting Stung by Leo Lions

RICHTON PARK - Talk about a statement game… In fact, this game was bill the battle of the catholic league even though it took place on a public league floor. Most of the players on both teams have played with their opponents on this afternoon so their were no secret plays or lack of knowledge.  But one thing for sure, both teams wanted to be aggressive early.

From the tip-off, this game lived up to its billing.
Each team traded baskets and made a statement run. Both teams also made statement responses.  The Sting had the lead with five minutes left to play in the game when 5' 10" senior guard, James Pointer, led the Lions on an 11 - 2 run. “I just snuck in under the basket,” Pointer said. “I’m little so they don’t notice me. I slipped in wherever I could find space and then just jumped as high as I could.”

Pointer finished the game with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
That kind of effort was everywhere for the Lions, who out rebounded Seton 46-36 despite a height disadvantage at every position.

Furthermore, Pointer has a list at home of all the guards in the area that have received more publicity than him. “I want to go against all of them and beat them. And now I can cross DJ Cooper [Seton senior guard] off my list. Everyone thought they were all this team was," said Pointer after the game.  "We prove that wrong every game we win”

Leo is now a perfect 12-0 on the season, a fact Leo coach Noah Cannon credits to something that happened well over a year ago. “These kids are still trying to prove that they are more than the two guys who transferred last year,” Cannon said after the game. “We wanted it more. We don’t plan on losing this year.”

Senior Darien Johnson also stepped up big for Leo scoring 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 perfectly timed blocks coming down the stretch for the Lions.

Seton (11 - 2) was led by Jordan Walker who finished the game with a double-double - 17 points and 10 rebounds.
This comeback victory for Leo demonstrated to lots of fans and media alike that they are for real and are playing with a wind underneath their sneakers, and a ton of motivation this season. 

Final score 65-61 in the quarterfinals of the Big Dipper tournament at Rich South.
