The Peacocks had lost eight of nine games and were headed in the wrong direction. The seasonal mark stood at 5-15. For a program that won all of five games two …

Seasons like the one the Friars enjoyed last year don’t come along every day. Sure, St. Anthony had enjoyed undefeated national championship years before, …
There was a recent column written in the local daily that stated that St. Peter’s Prep had actually dethroned St. Anthony as the best local boys’ basketball team.
