The Villains broke the game open with a big run in the second quarter and had a 44-20 lead at halftime.
Bishop McGuinness was led by senior Thomas Thompson, who finished with 27 points, seven rebounds and five steals. Junior Bryce Chapman had a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds, and senior Arop Chom contributed 12 points and five rebounds.
Friday was Senior Night for Thompson and Chom.
Villains’ Head Coach Josh Thompson said, “Arop Chom and Thomas Thompson have been a pleasure to coach over their four years at Bishop. They embody exactly what our program is all about, which is being a high school basketball player, person, and student. The work ethic, leadership, character and heart they have define what we want in a Bishop basketball player, and I am so proud of them both on and off the court.”
Bishop McGuinness will have four games this week to try to make up several weather postponements. The Villains were scheduled last night, Feb. 9, to play at home in a big Greater Piedmont 1-A/2-A (GP 1-A/2-A) conference game against South Stokes (16-2, 7-0 GP 1-A/2-A). South Stokes defeated the Villains 68-62 on Jan. 20 in a game that came down to the last 30 seconds. Bishop McGuinness (13-5, 5-2 GP 1-A/2-A) will host North Stokes on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
“Our team has been anticipating the next matchup with South Stokes. They played really well against us at their place and exposed some flaws in us, which is what happens when you play good teams. We’ve been hard at work in practice on those things and are eager to get them on our home floor to have the chance to see where we are now,” Thompson said on Saturday.
