At St. Ignatius this past week, the visiting Savage Heat got the attention of the host Bulldogs when they wrapped up the first frame with a two possession lead. But thereafter, Mission shifted gears by outscoring their opponent by a 4:1 ratio to shape the outcome in their favor. Zoran LaFrombois and Jedi Christy combined for three dozen to offset the leading scorers for Hot Springs while the remainder of the Bulldog roster accounted for the margin of victory. Christy also ripped 11 rebounds for a double-double.

This past Saturday, the Eureka Lions held off the Bulldogs in overtime.

Jedi Christy tied for game high scoring honors with a tally among the mid-teens, while Zoran laFrombois and Ross McPherson also notched double digits with 10 each.

Mission will have already faced Loyola, then host the visiting Thompson Falls Bluehawks Thursday.
