Bishop Guertin girls seventh in Naples Shootout
The Bishop Guertin High School girls basketball team went 1-2 in the prestigious Naples (Fla.) Holiday Shootout.
Guertin had three types of games: First, a lopsided 70-49 loss to nationally ranked Miami Country Day on Saturday, then Monday a tough 65-63 overtime loss to Mercy Academy of Louisville, Ky., and then the Cardinals wrapped up the tournament Tuesday with a dominant 68-17 win over Barron Collier of Naples.
That game seemed like almost an in-state regular season game for the Cardinals in the battle for seventh place in the tournament’s National Division.
The Cards had 13 players enter the scoring column, led by freshman Meghan Stack’s 11 points. Erin Carney and Addi Smith added 10 apiece while Hannah Muchemore chipped in with nine.
The Cardinals on Monday missed a 3-pointer on their final possession that would have won the game vs. Mercy.
Guertin, which fell to national power Miami Country Day 70-49 in the opener on Saturday, was up 15-13 after one quarter, 29-24 at the half but trailed 45-35 heading into the fourth quarter. BG rallied to tie it at 57 with five seconds left and also rallied to tie the game in OT at 63 after being down six early in the extra session.
Bri Wilcox led Guertin with 16 points, after a 19-point performance in the opener.
Guertin, 3-2 overall, 2-0 in Division I, resumes regular season play at Bedford on Friday night at 6:30.
