Week in Review 1/18-1/25

Girls Basketball hit the road again and split games while down in New York. They beat Grand Street Campus but lost to Archbishop Molloy. It was a lighter week for the Lady Bishops, as they only had one game, which was on Friday night. They had a big win against Matignon. 

Boys Basketball faced some tough competition this week and lost both their games. The Bishops took on Cathedral and Abington. The boys fought hard during these two non-league games. They are not going tot let these loses get in the way as they continue try and make the State Tournament.

Girls Hockey split this week. They started off the week with a loss to the always powerful Cougars of Austin Prep, 2-1. The defeat did not stop them as they took the ice on Wednesday and had a big win against St. Mary’s, 5-1. The girls third game of the week was rescheduled to a later date due to the weather on Saturday. 

Boys Hockey had a lot of practice time this week, as they only had one game. The Bishops hit the ice on Wednesday night and fought hard against St. Johns. Unfortunately they lost 3-0. 

Track and Field came out in high spirits as the raced against Austin Prep. The team was a little short handed and out numbered but that did not stop them. Although they lost everyone showed a lot of effort and for many their hard work payed off. Congratulations to the 10 athletes that placed in their events:

Swimming put on a great show on Tuesday afternoon against St. Mary’s. The meet went back and forth and was not settled until the last events. Even with Victoria Butterfield’s 4 first places and Ty Doan 4 first places the bishops fell short. The Bishops swam well once again against Austin Prep on Friday night. They may have been outnumbered and lost but that did not stop them. Some major highlights were:

• Senior Tommy Liu won his first dual meet competition against a strong field in thee the 50 yard Freestyle
• Senior Captain Victoria Butterfield won the 200 Freestyle and finished second in the 500 Freestyle while qualifying for the State Sectional Meet in both events in two weeks. 
• Sophomore Ty Doan won the 100 Fly and achieved a strong second in the 200 IM. Ty also qualifies for the State Meet!
