Elijah Price, St. Anthony Basketball

St. Anthony defeated Long Beach Poly at the Bosco Winter Classic last week and went on to take fifth in the tournament. Senior Elijah Price was a standout and posted 20 points and 17 boards in the win over Poly.

On the one hand, it was a consolation bracket contest in a preseason tournament–a Bosco Winter Classic game that won’t decide a championship or a spot in league standings. But on the other hand, it was deeper than that–St. Anthony facing Long Beach Poly for city supremacy. The Saints prevailed against the Jackrabbits, 53-38.

St. Anthony two-sport star Tatiana Fernandez had a big game on the pitch last week in a 4-1 win for the Saints’ girls’ soccer team. Fernandez, who also runs cross country at the school, had a hat trick in the win over St. Pius X-St. Matthias Academy.

St. Anthony boys’ basketball beat Walnut 73-50 at the St. John Bosco Winter Classic Tournament on Monday.

St. Anthony boys’ soccer and coach Aaron Rodriguez are thrilled to start a full season together.
Rodriguez took over the program in January and the Saints scuffled through the rescheduled season with low player turnout.

St. Anthony girls’ soccer has 13 returning players with experience and the right approach to a much anticipated full season. The Saints want to play the game with energetic enjoyment and appreciation while using their natural instincts to play as a cohesive unit.
