Bomber Basketball

Bomber Basketball was featured on the 1.27.12 STLToday web site, after the varsity team beat Lutheran North, 70 - 42. "Steve Wilcutt didn't mince words when talking about the John Burroughs boys basketball team's performance on Friday. 'That's as good as we can play,' Wilcutt said. 'It's obviously our best game of the year. They didn't have their best game. I thought we did a good job defensively and took some people out of the game.' The Bombers were all that and a bag of chips in beating Metro League rival Lutheran North 70-42. The win improved John Burroughs to 12-3 overall (3-1 conference). Lutheran North, No. 6 in the STLhighschoolsports.com small-schools rankings, dropped to 13-4 (2-2). Foye Oluokun scored 17 points and pulled down 14 rebounds to lead the Bombers. 'It started on the defensive end,' Oluokun said. 'After we got rebounds, we were able to run out and get some easy baskets. We knew our shots would start coming.' Ezekiel Elliott netted 17 points and Amos Shinkle chipped in with 14." For the complete story, click HERE.
