Flashes put away Jackson Victors 73-50

Vicksburg, Miss.-St. Aloysius boys’ basketball team finished Tuesday night victorious as they took down Jackson Victors 73-50. Carson Gleese and Anthony McCloud took over the game by collecting 25 and 24 points.

“Tonight was a good warm-up for district play next week and we have another good team on Monday so we’re looking to go into district with a 10-8 record,” Head Coach Walter Hallberg said.

The Flashes went up 17-11 in the first quarter as Gleese found the basket on multiple occasions while McCloud hit a quick 3-pointer. By halftime, St. Al had a 34-24 lead as Carter Henderson stepped up and scored eight points right before the end of the first half. 

After halftime, the Flashes took a nice lead after scoring 22 points in the third quarter which was mostly a mixture of Gleese and McCloud. By the time the final quarter rolled around, McCloud took over by nailing another 3-pointer and dominating inside the paint.

“We knew we had to step our game up today and we played more as a team,” McCloud said.

Gleese finished the night as the main contributor with 25 points as St. Al improved to 9-8 on the year.

“I feel like we played as a team and executed perfectly while sharing the ball well,” Gleese said.

Carter Henderson added 10 points to the board while Carson Henderson put up four points. Tre Lee, Laken Bradley, Dru Gleese, and Walt Andrews all scored two points each while Sadler Lambiotte hit a free throw.
