Thursday night the Monarchs played league game number two hosting Frankel Jewish Academy in what would be a difficult game. Cabrini defense was on fire in the first half forcing multiple turnovers & capitalizing on the Jaguar mistakes allowing the Monarchs to build a comfortable 28-14 lead with 7 Monarchs scoring in the first half with Jack Delaney & Owen Tomsic scoring 6 points each. Start of the 2^nd half was a different story as the Jaguars had cut the lead to 6 midway through the 3^rd quarter with sloppy offensive play turning the ball over on consecutive possessions. After a much needed time out the Monarchs started to get the train back on track ending the 3^rd quarter with a 36-27 lead. In the 4^th quarter the Monarchs shrugged off the dismal 3^rd quarter & scored 22 points pulling away from the Jaguars for a 58-39 victory, the Monarchs were led by Brayden McKay who scored all of his 13 points in the 2^nd half with 10 coming in the 4^th quarter alone. Owen Tomsic dropped in 12 points along with 7 assists, Jack Delaney grabbed 9 rebounds with 8 points & Lander Emerick added 8 points with 5 rebounds. The Monarchs have an important league game on Tuesday 1/17 @ Detroit Cristo Rey.
