Bishop McGuinness’s boys’ team showed off their depth and efficiency in an impressive win against Cornerstone.


Eleven players on the court each scored five or more points. Ten three-pointers were made and six dunks were scored, leading Bishop McGuinness’ boys basketball team to a dominant 92-15 victory over Cornerstone Charter.

The Villains’ control was an impressive display of offense. Their swift and effective passing kept the Cardinal defense on their toes throughout the entire game. Anytime a scoring opportunity arose, it was highly likely to result in a basket, particularly during their impressive 61-point first half.

In the first quarter, Bishop McGuinness dominated with five three-point shots, leading to a 32-point lead. Cornerstone did not score until later, when Bishop McGuinness was already ahead 19-0.

In the first quarter, Nicholas Graves scored eight points and led the Villains during the initial period.

Cal Barrett and John Campbell asserted their dominance from the wing with a combined 18 points in limited first half minutes. The duo also managed to hammer home three dunks in the second half to send the home side into the break with a 50-point advantage.

After everything was said and done, Alex Waterfield was the top scorer with 15 points. As a junior, he made three 3-pointers in the first half and even with a running clock in the second half, he still scored three more times in the fourth quarter. This even included a dunk at the end that got the home crowd cheering.

Campbell and Thomas Thompson both grabbed five rebounds each on the glass.
