Winning one out of three is no great shakes in basketball, unless it happens to be the last one. “One thing I can say. We’re playing in March. They’re not,” Aurora Central senior center Robert DeMyers said Wednesday. This was after he scored a game- and season-high 26 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to help lead the Chargers to a 68-59 … ]]> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 23:10:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10974204-393/boys-basketball-aurora-central-finally-gets-best-of-marmion.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10974204-393/boys-basketball-aurora-central-finally-gets-best-of-marmion.html
Cameron Harvey has had nights of the prolific-scoring variety, but even he couldn’t figure out what happened against host Marmion on Friday night. The Wheaton Academy senior and Eastern Illinois recruit was way deep in a zone, scoring 22 of his game-high 24 points in the first half to help the Warriors close out the regular season with a 69-50 win. Harvey … ]]> Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:48:04 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10865837-393/boys-basketball-wheaton-academy-shoots-past-marmion-in-scc-blue-battle.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10865837-393/boys-basketball-wheaton-academy-shoots-past-marmion-in-scc-blue-battle.html As it turned out, the clash between Montini and Marmion Academy allowed both teams to turn the tables from the night before. The Cadets overcame an outstanding performance by Montini’s Tyshawn Johnson and defeated the visiting Broncos 63-55 in a Suburban Christian Conference crossover game. The victory got Marmion back on the winning track after a loss to Glenbard South on Friday. … ]]> Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:10:01 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10737393-393/boys-basketball-marmion-escapes-pesky-montini.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10737393-393/boys-basketball-marmion-escapes-pesky-montini.html When a game gets tight late, it sure helps to have a point guard like Marian Catholic sophomore Tyler Ulis. After the Spartans squandered a large early lead and allowed Marmion back into Saturday’s nonconference game, Ulis took over. In the fourth quarter, Ulis dished out four of his nine assists, hit 7 of 8 free throws and milked time off the … ]]> Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:37:37 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10588033-393/boys-basketball-tremendous-tyler-ulis-helps-marian-catholic-stave-off-marmion.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10588033-393/boys-basketball-tremendous-tyler-ulis-helps-marian-catholic-stave-off-marmion.html
When Marmion took a nine-point advantage into the fourth quarter against Aurora Christian Friday night, there was a feeling in the Cadets’ gym that the game still had nail-biter potential. A game between two evenly matched teams usually goes that way, and this one followed that lead as the Cadets needed some key stops down the stretch to hold off the Eagles … ]]> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:38:52 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10569887-393/boys-basketball-marmion-survives-aurora-christian-comeback.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10569887-393/boys-basketball-marmion-survives-aurora-christian-comeback.html
Who knew Ryan Glasgow was so light on his feet on the basketball court? The 6-foot-4, 270-pound center for Marmion will, of course, move on to play Division I college football in the fall. On Friday night, he took advantage of foul trouble on Aurora Central standout Robert DeMyers and scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half to help … ]]> Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:42:05 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10283196-393/boys-basketball-ryan-glasgow-rallies-marmion-to-win-over-aurora-central.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/10283196-393/boys-basketball-ryan-glasgow-rallies-marmion-to-win-over-aurora-central.html
If you take away the first seven minutes of the game, St. Edward might have claimed a road victory over their conference foe Marmion on Friday night. But those seven minutes hung over the Green Wave the rest of the game, as Marmion cruised to a 55-45 victory in Suburban Christian crossover action. It was a bounceback win for the Cadets, who … ]]> Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:32:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9864764-393/boys-basketball-marmion-grabs-controls-early-in-win-over-green-wave.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9864764-393/boys-basketball-marmion-grabs-controls-early-in-win-over-green-wave.html
Aurora Christian’s 64-55 win over Marmion Thursday night would best be described as methodical. There were no big runs and not much in the way of flash, just a game-long grind that involved gritty play, tough defense and a lot of free throws. Still, the numbers on the scoreboard are all that matter — those and the 11-3 record (3-1 Suburban Christian) … ]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:39:40 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9842828-393/boys-basketball-aurora-christian-out-a-win.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9842828-393/boys-basketball-aurora-christian-out-a-win.html Marmion gave Moline all it could handle on Wednesday night in the title game of DeKalb’s Chuck Dayton Holiday Tournament, but the Maroons’ trapping defense wreaked havoc as the Cadets fell 50-48 in a fast-paced, back-and-forth contest. Up 42-34 to begin the fourth quarter, Marmion quickly saw its lead evaporate. Moline (13-1) went on a 10-0 run highlighted by an Anthony Lindauer … ]]> Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:20:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9696956-393/boys-basketball-marmion-falls-short-in-title-game.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9696956-393/boys-basketball-marmion-falls-short-in-title-game.html
As tourney starts go, Marmion coach Ryan Paradise couldn’t ask for much more. His Cadets got another strong performance off the bench from junior guard Alex Theisen Monday and completed a perfect 3-0 run through the C Pool of the 84th annual Chuck Dayton Tournament in DeKalb with a 59-52 win over Sterling. “We were just running our offense, cutting to the … ]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2011 16:36:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9659338-393/boys-basketball-marmion-advances-to-dekalb-semis.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9659338-393/boys-basketball-marmion-advances-to-dekalb-semis.html
Alex Theisen came off the bench to provide the spark and senior forward Pete Stefanski fanned the flames. The result was a 59-50 victory over Sycamore Thursday for Marmion Academy in the teams’ opening pool-play game at the 84th Annual Chuck Dayton Tournament. It evened the Cadets’ season record at 5-5 and may have helped ease the sting of last weekend’s loss … ]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:38:12 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9608854-393/boys-basketball-cadets-surge-in-second-half.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9608854-393/boys-basketball-cadets-surge-in-second-half.html Sometimes the hardest shots to make are not the ones that are heavily contested. They are the ones that are wide open. Brian Spahn had that feeling on Friday as his right-handed layup rattled in with three seconds left to give St. Francis an improbable 59-57 conference victory over Marmion Academy. Spahn gave the Spartans (5-1, 2-1 SCC Blue) their first lead … ]]> Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:46:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9494335-393/boys-basketball-st-francis-late-comeback-downs-marmion.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9494335-393/boys-basketball-st-francis-late-comeback-downs-marmion.html
Advantage, Marmion. Playing before a packed house Saturday at Aurora Central, the Cadets claimed a 54-41 Suburban Christian Conference matchup and took a one-game lead (36-35) in the longstanding series between crosstown rivals. “In the second half we rebounded with some aggressiveness,” said Marmion coach Ryan Paradise, whose team climbs to 4-3 overall and 3-0 in the league. “Offensively, in the first … ]]> Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:48:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9375652-393/boys-basketball-marmion-gains-bragging-rights.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9375652-393/boys-basketball-marmion-gains-bragging-rights.html A.J. Friedman picked a great time to enter the scoring column. The 5-foot-10 Marmion senior scored a layup off a Walther Lutheran turnover to give the Cadets their biggest lead of the game at 52-49 with 1:18 remaining. The hosts then held on for a 52-51 victory on Tuesday in Aurora. “It’s definitely big to get a win, our first home game … ]]> Tue, 06 Dec 2011 22:57:54 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9294569-393/boys-basketball-marmion-battles-back-to-beat-walther-lutheran.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/marmion/boys_basketball/9294569-393/boys-basketball-marmion-battles-back-to-beat-walther-lutheran.html SUB. CHRISTIAN BLUE Outlook: Aurora Central looks to use last year’s run to the 3A supersectional to leap past guard-strong Wheaton Academy in reshuffled SCC. Top five players: Ryan Coyle, St. Francis, G/F Sr.; Robert DeMyers, Aurora Central, F, Sr.; Cameron Harvey, Wheaton Academy, G, Sr.; C.J.
