The Grandstander had a great time returning to the campus of Central Catholic to watch the Vikings freshman basketball team take on the no-longer-traditional rival North Catholic Trojans. What prompted this return to Central was the chance to see great-nephew Patrick Sproule start at guard for the Little Vikings and play a key role down the stretch.
North led for most of the game, but the Vikes rallied in the fourth quarter to tie the game and send it into overtime. The home squad prevailed and defeated the Trojans 63-58.
Pat tallied six points in the game, but three of those came in the overtime period and sealed the deal for Central in the waning seconds of the game. He also made a couple of key defensive plays in overtime that contributed to the win.
Great fun!
Kudos to Pat Sproule - Good job Pat!!
