Bonner Earns First Victory

Bonner traveled to Cardinal Dougherty on Sunday in hopes of earning their first win. They accomplished that goal, defeating the Cardinals 54-49. Coach Tom Meakim earned his first win as head coach of the team, since taking over for Brian Daly. Senior Keefer Francis had a game high 12 points, pacing the Friars to the win. Junior Scott Slade had 11 points, and Karonn Davis scored 7, while grabbing 9 rebounds. Art Comas had 11 points to lead Dougherty. Unless the two teams meet in the playoffs down the road, this was the last basketball game between Bonner and Dougherty. The Archdiocese announced a couple months ago that Dougherty, along with North Catholic, will close at the end of the year due to low attendance. Kennedy-Kenrick will also close. Both the Friars and Cardinals even their record at 1-1 on the year. Bonner's next game will be another non-league meeting with Chichester on Thursday, December 17th at Chichester.
