HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP : DaCorsi Delivers Notre Dame

Clutch shooting from Notre Dame High’s Bob DaCorsi lifted the Knights to a 60-58, come-from-behind victory over St. Bernard in a Mission League game Friday night at St. Bernard.

Notre Dame (13-3, 4-0 in league play) trailed, 53-48, late in the fourth quarter, but DaCorsi scored 10 of the Knights’ final 12 points to help his team extend its winning streak to six and take sole possession of first place.

DaCorsi, a 6-foot-5 senior forward, scored a game-high 21 points. G. C. Marcaccini added 16 points for the Knights.

Except for the game’s opening baskets, St. Bernard (8-9, 4-1) led until late in the third quarter when one of DaCorsi’s four three-point baskets gave the Knights a 38-37 advantage.

The Vikings regained the lead seconds later and held it until DaCorsi made four free throws (two foul shots and two technicals) to tie the score, 55-55, with 1 minute 36 seconds left. Marcello Anderson-Tellez’s two free throws with 1:09 left gave the Knights a two-point lead, but St. Bernard’s Parker Jenkins hit a three-point basket for a 58-57 lead.

DaCorsi’s final three-point basket came from the right wing with 30 seconds left.

Notre Dame limited St. Bernard’s Wyking Jones, a senior center who averages 24 points a game, to nine points.
