                           GILL ST. BERNARD  73           DWIGHT MORROW-ENGLEWOOD  50

Gill St. Bernard played about the best quarter of basketball this season, in going ahead of Dwight Morrow 31-8!

The extent is not available, but he gave the best 7 points, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block a player could give before leaving the contest!
