Local sports report Jan. 17: Boys basketball; Churchill boys hockey; Fairview bowling
Jonah Gruarin, shown in this file shot, had 28 points as Notre Dame beat Denis Morris in NRHSAA senior boys basketball action.
Jonah Gruarin poured in 28 points to lead the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to a 68-59 win over the visiting Denis Morris Reds in Niagara Catholic Athletic Association league play.
Gruarin’s output included eight three-pointers – six in the first half – as the Irish entered the break holding a 35-25 lead. The Irish knocked down a total of 14 treys, but could not shake the pesky Reds, who closed the gap to as close as six points in the fourth quarter.
That was as close as DM would get as the Irish locked down defensively to end any threat of a Reds comeback.
Braidon Moore tossed in 11 points for the Irish followed by David Jones with eight and Brandon Graziani with seven. Andrew Zezela and Anthony Cimino (five each) and Rovenston Jean-Baptiste (four) rounded out the scoring for Notre Dame.
Not to be outdone, Noah Honsberger led Denis Morris with 22 points followed by Max Grant with 14. Zubeer Liban added 11 while Mitchell McArthur and Michael Cassidy, playing sparingly after coming off of an ankle injury, each chipped in six.
