Vinemont's Raylee Quick shoots the ball.

VINEMONT — Ryan Stewart spearheaded a balanced offensive attack with 17 points, Vinemont’s defense impressed during the second half, and the Eagles took down St. Bernard 63-44 on Tuesday night.

Toby Hill also reached double figures with 14 points to help the Eagles claim their third win of the season.

“I was proud of our defense after halftime,” Vinemont coach Preston Boyd said. “I thought we came out and responded well to some of the things we talked about in the locker room. We wanted to come out with some intensity, and I thought we did that. We were then able to get a lot of guys some playing time late. We’re looking forward to bigger and better things down the line now.”

Stewart sank five first-half 3-pointers to propel Vinemont to a 38-24 halftime cushion. The home team then held the Saints to just four points in the third quarter to stretch out a comfortable lead.

“Ryan has gone through a lot this season with multiple injuries,” Boyd said. “He’s struggled, but he’s put in a lot of work and effort in order to get back to what he can be to help our team. I’m proud of all our guys, but I’m really proud of him. We’re going to need him down the stretch to be the team we’re capable of being.”

Jaxon Holcomb (nine), Colby Miller (seven), Kix Johnson (six), Chayce Sandlin (five), Keith Slaton (three) and Connor Gibbs (two) also pitched in buckets for the Red and White.

St. Bernard’s Nic Fallin, meanwhile, racked up a game-high 19 points, while Jack Janaszak added 13. José Zatarain (five), Peter Tran (four) and Emmanuel Santiago (three) also contributed for the road squad.
