Taylor Nelson scored 16 of his 20 game high points in the first half, and Chris Roberts and Matt Ward
each scored 10 of their 16 points in the second half as the Trojans began their area schedule in their
first varsity basketball meeting ever against new area rival Brewbaker Tech.  The Trojans did not convert
a single three point shot in the game, surrendering 7 three pointers to the Rams.  However, the Trojans
visited the free throw line twice as many times (38 to 19) and made 24 to their opponents' 9.  The Rams
only led once, at 2-0, and only tied once afterwards, at 4-4.  The St. James lead was as much as 12
(40-28) midway through the third quarter, but three consecutive three pointers by Brew Tech cut the lead
to 5 (with two Trojan freethrows in the middle).  The Rams could never get closer than 5 points afterwards.

Cassie Moore towered above her opponents, and scored 12 points of her own and dished out numerous
assists to other team members as the Brewbaker Tech Lady Rams defeated the Lady Trojans in their
first meeting ever, and the first area matchup of the season for St. James.  Very few trips were made to
the free throw lanes, especially for St. James, who only shot twice.  Brew Tech made only 4 of their
12 attempts.  Lisa Bright was the bright spot, literally, as she made six field goals, most from the free
throw lane.  The Lady Rams started the game with a 9-0 run and never looked back.  St. James managed
to close the gap to 2 on several occasions in the third quarter, but could never tie the score.

STJ 3 Pointers:         Eley (2)                                        FT (team):        5 of 13  (38.5%)

Keegan Sanders' power on the inside and Ryan Baker's deadly accuracy from the outside helped
lead the Junior Varsity Rams to a 9 point victory over the Trojans.  Baker converted a three pointer
in each of the first three quarters, including an amazingly well-defended high arching shot with 5 seconds
remaining in period 3, while Sanders drove inside and drew fouls, converting 5 of his 6 free throw attempts.
Landon Eley contributed a pair of threes and 3 of 5 from the foul line to lead the Trojans attack.
