St. Vincent Bobcats Capture Title

The Cape Girardeau St. Vincent Bobcats 6th grade boys basketball team captured the Parochial League "C" Team Basketball Tournament Championship this past Sunday, November 16. In the championship game the Bobcats battled the St. Mary Bluejays, who took home the Second Place trophy. The Bluejays also hosted the three day, eight team tournament. In the Third Place game, Immaculate Concenption, of Jackson, defeated the Perryville St. Vincent team. Immanuel Lutheran (Jackson) claimed the Fifth Place, four team consulation bracket, which featured teams from Cape Christian School, Trinity Lutheran of Cape, and St. Paul Lutheran of Jackson.

This particular tournament is a very special one for the 6th Grade Boys of the Parochial League. What makes it special is the fact that this is the first year the boys are eligible to participate in school athletics. That makes this the very first inter-school tournament they have ever participated in. We wish all of the players good luck in their academic and athletic careers.
