Junior Cece Leone, (13) scored a team-high 19, including 6 straight to give Ireton a lead in the 4th quarter they would not relinquish in their 63-59 win over neighboring West Potomac Wolverines Monday.

With three Cardinals scoring in double figures,  Bishop Ireton rallied from a 53-47 deficit to win 63-59 in the final game of the Joe Cascio Tournament at West Potomac High School Monday night.  Cece Leone had 19, Michelle Montgomery 18, and Danielle Hatchett 11 to overcome the Wolverines’ sophomore Maddy Zdebsky’s game-high 25.

West Potomac and Bishop Ireton battled in a tight contest throughout the first half, but it was the home team that held a slim  31-29 advantage at intermission. They extended their margin to seven after three periods, leading 49-41 as the teams headed into the final stanza.

Alex Stipano started the 4th quarter rally with a bucket and foul shot that drew the Cardinals to 49-45.  The teams traded baskets until senior Illeana Gutierrez scored to pull Ireton to within 53-50.   Leone then scored six straight to give Ireton a 56-55 lead as the period slipped away from the Wolverines, part of  an Ireton 15-2 run that sent them to a 62-55 advantage.  They would not be subdued at that point, their free throw shooting and defense too much for the Wolverines.

In addition to the players in double figures,  Cardinals got key offense from  Alexandra Stipano (6 points), Ileana Gutierrez (3) and Keyarna Frederick (2).

West Potomac had scoring from RaSheika Gregory (10 points), Maggie McDonald (6), Bre Elphage (4), #34 (3), Rosie Sheehan (3), Tenesha Green (3), Grace Moery (3) and Jessica Dorn (2).

Bishop Ireton returns to WCAC play on Friday when they host #8 ranked Elizabeth Seton. JV begins at 5pm, varsity tips off at 7pm.

Bishop Ireton’s tourney opener with Loudoun County’s Briar Woods was a defensive battle in a game free of shot clock restrictions. Whether that is a positive for high school basketball is debatable but certainly an adjustment for the WCAC ball club.

The Cardinals built a 22-10 lead at halftime and cruised home for the 15-point win.

Senior Jamie Senff, held to 4 points in the Cardinals’ win in White Plains, NY over Archbishop Stepanic, responded with a game-high 14 points for Ireton. Ty Quarles added 13 including a three-point goal, Dan Noe chipped in 9 with a three, and Patrick Moseh had 4.

Curry had 10 for Briar Woods, who were held 13 field goals in the game and allowed only six opportunities from the free throw line compared to 14 for Ireton.

Bishop Ireton (6-2) faces the Robinson Rams in the tourney’s semi-final contest.  Tipoff is 4pm Saturday at Westfield High School.

Ireton led much of the first half, building a 7-5 first quarter advantage into a 20-15 margin at halftime.  The Jaguars whittled away the lead during the third quarter, cutting their deficit to two as the game entered the final quarter.

Junior Cece Leone’s layup gave Ireton a 33-28 lead in the 4th, but Leann Loch responded with a bucket and Ecelbarger scored a basket  and free throw to tie the game, part of a 10-0 run the host team used to gain a 38-33 bulge.

Illeana Gutierrez converted a pair of free throws and a steal for a layup to draw the Cardinals within 38-37, but the redbirds would not score again as the Jags added two free throws.  Alex Stipano’s long range last shot was unsuccessful from beyond half court as the horn sounded.

Bishop Ireton opened its game with JEB Stuart using a smothering full court press and the pressure seemed to energize the Cardinal offense with a season-high 26 first quarter points in a lopsided 56-30 win Saturday morning.

It was the second of three tournament games for the redbirds at the Joe Cascio Tournament co-hosted by Falls Church and West Potomac High Schools.  The Cards will end the tourney Monday when they visit host West Potomac for a 7pm tipoff.

Junior Cece Leone led all scorers with 13 points, including 9 in the opening stanza,  while Alex Stipano also scored in double figures with 10, including a pair of three-point baskets.  Ireton saw seven other players score in a game that Coach Derek Campbell used his entire bench extensively.

The Cardinals roared out to a 16-0 advantage in the game’s opening minutes  and ended the opening period with a 26-8 margin.  The contest for all intents and purposes seemed settled at that point and the white-jerseyed squad spent much of the game working on its pressure defense and running its offensive sets against the overmatched Rebels.

Brianna Ford scored 10 points for the Fairfax County school, who were unable to score more than 9 points in any of the four quarters.  JEB Stuart HS finished strong, adding nine points in the final quarter, it wasn’t enough to turn things around.

Ford led JEB Stuart’s offense, going 3-for-6 (50%) from the field.

Scoring for the Lady Cardinals were Ileana Gutierrez (7 points), Keyarna Frederick (4), Heather Pearson (4), Isabelle Kendall (4), Michele Montgomery (4), Kelly Gallagher (2), Paige Russell (4) and Danielle Hatchett (2).

Also scoring for JEB Stuart HS were Laura Hegeman (6 points), Isabel Bruns (4), Yanna Kelley (2), Leilani Young-Smith (2) and Sophia Belletti (2).

Trailing 27-17 by the half, Robinson fought back in the third quarter with a 22-16 advantage out of the locker room to trail 43-39 going into the final period. Ireton held off the Fairfax County school with a zone defense and free throw shooting down the stretch.

The Cardinals’s offense was led by Jamie Senft, who scored 25 points, including seven during the fourth period, Pat Moseh had 16, Dan Noe 11, and Ty Quarles 9.

Bynum went 5-for-6 from the line (83%), a solid performance for Robinson .  Jared Steen put up two three-pointers and scored 13 points total.

Cece Leone (23) hauls in a rebound, the Ireton junior added a pair of free throws for the Cardinals in their game at O'Connell.

The Knights used a fast first quarter start to gain a lead and held on through the second half to win their first conference game of the year, 53-33 over Bishop Ireton in Arlington Tuesday night.

Ireton sophomore Michelle Montgomery had a game-high 16 points for the Cardinals, but the visitors couldn’t overcome a 33-16 halftime deficit in falling to 0-3 in WCAC play.   Hannah Miller added four as did Heather Pearson, Paige Russell had 3 while Isabelle Kendal, Cece Leone, and Kellen Phillips each added a basket.

Nadia Davidson led Bishop O’Connell with 11 and Gillian Gerton scored in double figures with 10.  Seven other Knights tallied points for the home squad.

O’Connell built a 16-7 lead after one period of play and outscored the Cardinals 17-9 in the second quarter to build comfortable halftime advantage.  The clubs battled evenly throughout the third period and neither squad could add many points in the game’s final quarter as the home team cruised in with the win.

“We are doing some good things right now, we just want to be more consistent. That will come as we learn each other.” said Coach Derek Campbell.

The Cardinals finish up their week with a triple header matinee at top ranked Paul VI on Saturday with a freshmen game kicking off the day noon, ending with a varsity tipoff at 3:30pm in the Panther Athletic Center in Fairfax.
