Pius X beats Notre Dame for the second time this season, 65-61

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER It's probably a good thing for Notre Dame that Pius X is not a member of the Colonial League and is Class A and not Class 2A when it comes to District 11 classifications. That's because the Crusaders can't seem to beat the Royals. Notre Dame has played six games this season. Pat Boyle's bunch is 4-0 against everybody not named Pius X. The Royals beat Notre Dame for the second time in a 12-day span, following up their 61-49 win in the Jeff Dailey Memorial Tournament finals on Dec. 8 with a hard-fought 65-61 victory tonight back at Green Pond. Here's the box: Pius X -- 16 -- 13 -- 20 -- 16 -- 65 Notre Dame -- 12 --17 -- 17 --15 -- 61 PIUS X (65) Marbury 3 3-7 9, Holmes 8 0-0 20, Russell 2 1-4 5, Keller 7 0-0 15, Goffredo 0 0-1 0, Torres 1 0-0 2, Ewing 4 6-6 14.
