St. Patrick shoots past Corsairs Feb 15, 2013 12:00 AM
Few fourth-quarter deficits worry the St. Patrick boys basketball team. Particularly not one as manageable as 7 points. It takes just a few 3-pointers to erase that. And the Shamrocks can hit 3-pointers faster than you can say “new ballgame.” On Friday night at Carmel, it took St. Patrick less than three minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter to turn its 7-point deficit into a 4-point advantage. The visiting Shamrocks hit three 3-pointers in successive possessions and then hit another after that to set the table for a 61-56 East Suburban Catholic Conference victory over Carmel.
St. Patrick’s fine finish leads to St. Viator’s first loss Dec 7, 2012 12:00 AM
The St. Viator boys basketball team fought to the end but ended up losing to St. Patrick 58-55 at Cahill Gymnasium on Friday. It was both teams' opener in what will be a rugged East Suburban Catholic Conference this season. "Nobody, I think, can go 8-0 in the conference," said St. Viator coach Mike Howland. "At the end of the game we didn't get the stops we needed. We just didn't execute down the stretch."
Cary-Grove steamrolls St. Patrick Nov 3, 2012 12:00 AM
Not since Week 3 had fullback Kyle Norberg, quarterback Quinn Baker and running back Ryan Mahoney been on the field running the triple option for Cary-Grove at the same time. A combination of injuries were the primary reason as to why the trio missed 7 weeks of action together, but when all three converge on the field as they did against St. Patrick on Saturday, there's something real special in the air at Cary-Grove and the rest of Class 6A could be in big trouble. In the Trojans's 49-21 steamroll at Cary's Al Bohrer Field in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs, the three-headed monster of Norberg, Mahoney and Baker combined to rush for 446 of Cary-Grove's 497 yards on the ground. Behind 197 yards and 3 touchdowns from Norberg, 161 yards rushing and a touchdown from Baker and 88 yards and a touchdown from Mahoney the Trojans rolled on.
Healthy Cary-Grove gears up for St. Pat’s Nov 2, 2012 12:00 AM
Securing the football will be a top priority when No. 8 St Patrick (7-3) visits No. 1 Cary-Grove (10-0) in a Class 6A second-round playoff game Saturday at 1 p.m. Both teams specialize in take-aways. Cary-Grove has forced 26 turnovers. The opportunistic Shamrocks have forced 31. "That's the old Bears strategy of getting turnovers, getting the ball back," St. Patrick coach Dan Galante said. "If we can take away possessions and keep their offense off the field, that's a positive." St. Patrick rode its ball-hawking strategy to third place in the East Suburban Catholic Conference behind Benet Academy and Marist. The Shamrocks defeated Benet 17-16 in Week 3, handing the Redwings their only loss. They are tasked with limiting the Trojans' flexbone option offense, directed by senior quarterback Quinn Baker.

Carmel, Joliet Catholic lead tough ESCC Aug 24, 2011 12:00 AM

St. Patrick gets defensive at Conant Mar 2, 2011 12:00 AM
Defense was the theme as Conant hosted St. Patrick in a Class 4A regional semifinal Wednesday night. “It was just two teams that played really tough defense,” said Cougars coach Tom McCormack, a St. Patrick alumnus. “The rebounding difference St. Pat’s had (32-14) ultimately was the difference in the game.”
