The St. Anthony’s Senior Boys Sabres placed fourth at a tournament in Forestburg over the weekend.
The Sabres were primed to play last Friday as they opened the tournament versus Cornerstone School, but it didn’t come easy. The Sabres pulled out a five-point win edging Cornerstone 79-74. Tanner Borowicz had 30 points and 30 rebounds to go with five steals. Jordan Comstock had 26 points.
They weren’t done Friday as they took on Alix, and were able to dispose of them 72-38.
“It was a good effort all around,” said head coach Dan Patterson.
Comstock had 16 points and eight rebounds, while Borowicz had 14 points and 13 boards.
This put them up against Daysland on Saturday afternoon. The team was frustrated as the game went on and fell 65-35. Borowicz came through with 12 points and 29 boards, TJ Jones had seven points and three steals.
This put the Sabres up against Rundle Academy for third place. It was a nail biter.
“Great energy, great enthusiasm, they played their hearts out,” said Patterson. “They went out there with all they had but a few turnovers near the end of the game cost them the win. Best game they’ve played as a team, morale wise.”
The Sabres fell 67-61. Borowicz was again huge with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 10 steals. Comstock had 15 points and six boards, while Jones had 12 points and four steals.
This weekend they are heading to Rosemary for more tournament play. Currently Rosemary is ranked sixth in the province.
