The Whitewater Boys’ Basketball Team traveled to Racine on Friday, March 4th, to take on Racine Saint Catherine’s, in a second-round regional game. Unfortunately, for the second time in three years, the Angels ended Whitewater’s season, as they defeated the Whippets, 62-45.

After an inspiring win against Saint Francis on Tuesday, Whitewater carried that energy into the first half, as they controlled the pace and took a 21-11 lead with a little over four minutes left. Saint Cat’s began to change the momentum, however, as they closed the half on an 8-2 run, but the Whippets still led 23-19.  

The second half was controlled by Racine. The Angels took the lead, 24-23, a minute in, and never looked back, as they outscored Whitewater, 27-8, to take a 51-31 lead with five minutes left. The effort was there for the Whippets, but they just couldn’t get anything going against Saint Cat’s aggressive defense.

Whitewater was led by Jon Aron’s 12 points and 5 rebounds. Wyatt Nickels scored 11 points and had 5 rebounds. Arno Crowley scored 5 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, and Ramon Wence had 4 points and 3 rebounds. Sam Brown scored 5 points and handed out 3 assists.
