Day 2 of the 18-19 season continues my 4 classes on the 1st 4 nights of the season tour. Last night it was AAA. Tonight its a 4AA matchup as St. Paul Academy makes a short trip east down Randolph Ave to Nova Classical Academy. Plenty of coaches on hand for this one. I see a limo on my way in and sure enough the joke is on me as St. Agnes coach Chris Hopkins makes an appearance. Concordia and New Life on hand as well. No concessions which is disappointing as I've had nice pulled pork at Nova in the past.
As to the game itself, not much to see hence the abbreviated writeup. St. Paul Academy playing without top forward Ryan Moore but no problems. Alex Hermann 3 trips and all 15 of his points in the 1st half as the Spartans opened up a 39-21 halftime lead. Soph guard Adam Holod with an outstanding night with 13 of his 18 in the 1st half. Only 2 Knights score in the 1st half including 14 of the 21 and the 1st 10 for Nova from guard Mathieu LaFrambois. St. Paul Academy extends the lead to 25 in the 2nd half and cruises to a 71-51 win. LaFrambois leads all scorers with 23 points. Holod 18, Hermann 15 to lead SPA. Shae Nelson adds 12 for Nova but was off all night which hurt the Nova offense. Nelson will be a key offensive piece for the Knights after being a double figure scorer last season. Next up for Nova is a trip to New Life on Tuesday while SPA will host Como Park.
