St. Anthony’s Upset 60-58

Tuesday, Feb.10,2009

            When the Long Island Lutheran Highschool team walked into the ” Golden Door” to play St. Anthony Highschool it was a fore gone conclusion that they had come to take a beating. Except, nobody told Lutheran! They came in and gave St. Anthony’s all they wanted enroute to a 60-58 upset. It was the first loss in that building  for St. Anthony’s since 2003. Sophomore Achraf Yacoubou led Lutheran with 23 points, including the game winning layup with 8 seconds left. Kevin Johnson contributed 13 points and 4 assists while controlling the tempo. Junior Tobias Harris added 11 points and 8 rebounds. All American senior Dominic Cheek was held to 11 points, but did have 9 rebounds. Elijah Carter finished with 13 for Anthony’s. St. Anthony’s led most of the way until 4:30 of the 3rd when Johnson made a free throw to put Lutheran up and they held on. St. Anthony’s had a chance to tie but the last shot was blocked.
