Bomber Basketball notched their first league win this season with a 56-48 victory on the road at La Salle on Friday night.

It was a tale of two halves for both teams as the first half to be a typical GCL rock-fight, with the Bombers taking a 16-13 lead into intermission. To the delight of the fans, the second half turned into a track meet of sorts as the Bombers won the final two quarters by a score of 40-35.

Sophomore Donovan Waleskowski led all scorers with 18 points, including 11 in the second half. Senior Jack DeCurtins was the lone other Bomber in double figures, scoring 14 points on the night, including an 8-11 mark from the free throw line in the fourth quarter to close out the victory. DeCurtins also led the Bombers with six rebounds and four assists, showcasing an all-around game. Five other Bombers got in the scoring column for a balanced attack that saw the Bombers garner nine assists off 17 made shots.

Despite a down shooting night from beyond the arc (2-7), the Bombers were able to capitalize on their size and La Salle mistakes, scoring 14 points off turnovers and 30 of their 56 points in the paint.

The win brings the Bomber record to 10-6 on the season and 1-2 in GCL play. After a break from GCL play on Tuesday, January 24 against Mariemont, the Bombers return to GCL play by hosting Moeller at St. Xavier High School's Berning Gymnasium for a triple header at 4:30/6:00/7:30 on Friday, January 27th. Tickets for the Mariemont game can be purchased here. Tickets for Moeller will go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 27th at 12:00 pm.
