St. Viator passes road test
St. Viator's boys basketball team took its first road test Friday night in a nonconference game at Wheaton Academy.
The Lions passed and improved to 5-0 as Kevin Walsh scored 17 points to lead four players in double figures in a 62-47 victory.
"We played well again," said Viator coach Mike Howland. "We started out a little slow early getting adjusted on the road."
Walsh hit two 3-pointers and D.J. Morris hit three of the Lions' seven 3s to finish with 13 points. Ore Arogundade also scored 13 points and Chris Myjak got 12 points.
Senior Dan Forde scored only 2 points but held Wheaton Academy (3-1) standout Cameron Harvey, who is headed to Eastern Illinois, to 8 points.
"Forde was awesome on defense again," Howland said. "He's pretty much locked up everbody we've asked him to lock up so far."
Viator opens East Suburban Catholic Conference play next Friday at St. Patrick.
