Red Devils Get Past Pirates, Earn Shot In Tournament Finals

Junior Guard Andy Kleinlein hit for 15 points Thursday night to lead the host Red Devils past 37-31 to end round robin play in the Creve Coeur school's annual Christmas Tournament. Chaminade advances to Friday's championship game at 7 p.m. against John Burroughs.

As the score might indicate, it was a low-scoring affair at the Athletictron. Chaminade led 19-15 at the half, giving up only three Pirate points in the second quarter but only scoring six of its own. The Pirates stayed in the game with timely three-point shooting and a pressing defense. Pattonville was led by Senior Guard Kavon Harvey with 14 points.

John Burroughs advanced by defeating Parkway Central 46-41 in the late game Thursday. Chaminade has claimed the last four Christmas tournaments at the school.
