St. Joseph coach Gene Pingatore found one bright spot in his fifth-ranked Chargers’ 60-47 loss to No. 8 Westinghouse Wednesday night in the Lyons Township tournament.
“I can’t find any positives to say other than our new uniforms looked good,” Pingatore said.
Westinghouse coach Frank Griseto, on the other hand, witnessed an impressive performance by his Warriors.
Westinghouse broke open a tight game with a 14-2 run in the third quarter to take a 40-29 lead. St. Joseph didn’t get closer than nine points the rest of the game.
Ben Curtis came off the bench to lead Westinghouse with 13 points. Andre Wiggins added 11 points to a balanced attack.
“He’s the kind of guy who gives us instant offense off the bench,” Griseto said of Curtis, a senior point guard who scored 11 of the Warriors’ 16 points in the second quarter. “He’s one of the most upbeat players I have ever coached.”
