The St. John's Prep basketball team couldn't be blamed for sleepwalking in the first quarter last night while playing its fourth game in six days.
"But we answered the ring of the bell," Prep coach Dan Letarte said after the Eagles overcame a 16-point deficit and took out Malden Catholic, 75-66, on the road. St. John's won all four games in the six-day span and is now 9-5.
"We were playing on fumes," said Letarte, "but the kids regained some energy and played really well."
Senior Ryan O'Connell has been on a tear for the Prep. He tossed in 37 points in this one, giving him 140 in the last four games (MC held him to a season low 13 in their previous meeting). Sophomore Brendon Felder added 19 points for the Eagles and freshman Pat Connaughton had seven. Letarte also cited the defensive work of Pat Dempsey.
St. John's can qualify for the state tourney with a win Friday at Xaverian.
