Cardinals fell to WCAC rivals Bishop McNamara and O'Connell on the road, but won their home tilt with Don Bosco on a busy MLK weekend.
by Matt Krause
The Bishop Ireton Cardinals hosted Don Bosco Cristo Rey on Saturday afternoon in the final regular season non-conference game of the 2011-2012 season. While Ireton was expected to, and did, take the contest, the visiting Wolfpack put up a strong fight before falling, 69-57. The game got started about 25 minutes late due to the Don Bosco bus being delayed.
Once the action got started, Ireton jumped out to a 10-0 lead courtesy of Louis Khouri and Da’Von Wiley. The two junior guards would pace Ireton throughout the day. Once Don Bosco called timeout to settle in, the Emmanuel Omogbo show began. Omogbo, a 6′ 7″ junior forward, took the game and ran with it. Omogbo scored a whopping 34 of the Wolfpack’s 57 points. In addition, he snared 14 rebounds. Ireton tried many solutions to guard Omogbo, using a combination of Daniel Noe, Ty Quarles, and Robert Banez, but he could just not be stopped. As a result, Don Bosco hung in the game the entire way. It seemed that every time Ireton scored, Omogbo would either score or dish to one of his guards, such as Addison Pruitt, who scored 11 points. A bright spot for Ireton was Jamie Senft, who started at center, and scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds. In the end, however, Ireton’s balanced game was too much for even Omogbo to handle.
