St. John/Endicott boys push for wins

Eagles’ senior Adam Blakeley navigates against Gar/Pal.

Led by Bob Clements, a 27-year teacher and coach at St. John/Endicott, this year's boys team is angling for a league win.

Playing at Garfield/Palouse last Saturday night, the Eagles went down 70-38.

“The boys are working hard, we're in games, just haven't been able to put it all together yet,” said Clements. “They're getting better. They're playing hard defense.”

Leading the Eagles (0-7, 2-11) again this year is senior guard Adam Blakeley, the top scorer, a four-year starter for a team that finished at the bottom of the Southeast 1B league last year.

Joining Blakeley in the starting lineup are second-year starter senior forward Cooper Lundberg and Griffin Parrish, a junior post. Rounding out the first five are an alternate mix of junior Dustin Fox, senior Terrell Webb and juniors Ethan Selk and Levi Bailey.

The team has two wins so far this season, over Reardan and Tekoa/Rosalia. After two cancelled games against Prescott, St. John/Endicott will meet them Friday on the road followed by another game against the Tigers the following Wednesday in St. John.

“We want to win a couple league games,” said Clements, a shop teacher. “We just keep working hard. It'll come together.”
