Sacred Heart finished its games Saturday at the Irish Classic tournament in Chapman with a doubleheader sweep of Bishop Ward. The girls won a blowout 60-7 and the boys stayed unbeaten with a 46-31 victory.
In the girl's game, the Lady Knights scored the first 26 points as the eventual result was never in doubt.
The Lady Cyclones had the least amount of experience and fewest number of players on their roster of any team in the tournament.
Sacred Heart was able to get a total of 14 girls on the floor with playing time thanks to the 60-7 lopsided final score.
Eight different players scored for the Lady Knights as Katie Weiss led the way with 20 points.
Sacred Heart improves its record to 2-2.
Meanwhile, the Sacred Heart boys also got a win against Bishop Ward with a 46-31 final score and stayed unbeaten in the process.
The Knights were sluggish to begin the game and within the first couple of minutes, Sacred Heart Head Coach Brian Gormley called a full timeout and benched all five starters.
The Cyclones held a slim 11-9 lead after the opening quarter.
The starters returned to the floor for Sacred Heart only giving up three second-quarter points. Additionally, Bishop Ward was held to just four points in the third quarter.
Both teams had better showings in the final period as the Knights pulled away for a 46-31 win.
Sacred Heart remains unbeaten with a 4-0 record. Max Ehrlich led the Knights with 11 points followed by Evan Bogart and Will Tuttle with 10 and nine points, respectively.
Ehrlich was also named the MVP of the boy's tournament.
The Knights now turn their focus to a matchup on Tuesday at Berean Academy.
The girls tipoff is set for 6 pm with the boys to follow from Elbing. Once again, the games can be seen and heard on salinapost.com with pregame beginning at 5:40.
