Knights
have high hopes for districts
 The
Knights are on the right path as they head into district tournament
play. They are coming off a great regular season with a record
of 19-1 and a final regular season rank of 5th in class B. Mt.
Michael had a tough schedule this year as 14 of the 20 games
they played were against ranked teams in B, C-1, or C-2.
The Knights have brought home
some hardware this season as they won the Wayne Holiday Tournament
and the Centennial Conference Tournament. Their only loss this
season came just after the Wayne Holiday Tournament when the
Knights traveled to Syracuse. They shot themselves in the foot
by shooting 28% from the field whereas Syracuse shot a mere
42%.
The Knights are heading
into district play with a huge loss at hand. A four year starter,
Ron Kmiecik, who suffered a torn ACL against Skutt Catholic,
will not be able to play in district nor most likely state.
The Knights are going to miss his height, shot blocking, rebounding,
and the inside presence on offense as well as defense. They
will need consistent play from the senior back court of Ben
and Blake Suing. Junior Cole Bunner who became a starter this
year has lived up to the hype that surrounded him coming into
this season. Mt. Michael will also need some quality minutes
out of seniors Abiola Kosoko, Scott Lindgren, and junior Kyle
Bradshaw. The basketball team, as well as the students and faculty,
have high hopes that the team will have great success at districts
and hopefully again at the state tournament. Faculty, parents,
and students wish the team the best of luck in the postseason.
