ST. MARYS - According to Minster coach Michael McClurg, the game plan coming in was, "just guard 'em."
And guard 'em they did.
The Wildcats held a St. Marys offense that was averaging just under 70 points in its last five games to a season-low 32 in a 35-32 victory over the Roughriders Saturday evening on the Grand Lake Health Care System Court. The win extends Minster's win streak to six games as the Roughriders have a six-game win streak snapped. [More]
