DELPHOS — The Vatican was rock- ing Friday night as the St. John’s Blue Jays welcomed the 9th-ranked team in Division IV, Marion Local, to Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium and were unwel- coming hosts in beating the Flyers 60-41. Before the game, the Marion Local football team received a standing ova- tion from Blue Jay Nation for winning the 2013 Division VII state title. That was the last hurrah heard by the Flyers for the evening. “That was the loudest I’ve heard the gym in a while,” said St. John ‘s head coach Aaron Elwer after the game. “It was a great environment to play a state- ranked team in and the kids responded to the crowd.” The Blue Jays came out like bomb- ers against the Flyers starting lineup of college-sized players at 6-10, 6-7, 6-6, 6-4 and 6-3. Andy Grothouse opened the scoring at the 6:10 mark with a 3-point bomb from the corner.

More bombs from the outside frustrated the Flyer defense, namely from Koester hitting from the corners. He hit treys from each side of the floor and hit another right before the buzzer (4 for the game en route to 18 points) to give the hosts a 31-13 lead. Conley scored on a break against Marion Local’s full-court press to open the second half. He grabbed a rebound on the defensive end and pushed it ahead to Grothouse who was fouled on the made bucket. The Blue Jays continued to play up-tempo when Hays grabbed a loose ball, passed ahead to Clark, who hit a streaking Grothouse for the layin and foul. After making the free throw, Grothouse stayed at the line because of a technical foul against Marion with 5:50 left in the third and the Jays lead was 40-15. Marion Local’s Troy Homan tried to rally his team, scoring the next five points, but St. John’s continued to outplay the Flyers for a 49-28 lead at the end of three periods. The fourth quarter began like the third — with Conley scor- ing on an offensive rebound and was fouled by Ryan Bruns. The Jays got in the double-bonus when Clark was fouled and connected both shots for a 54-31 lead. St. John’s spread the court for most of the final stanza and made their free throws to seal the win. Coach Elwer was proud of his team, saying that “we stuck to our game plan and executed it perfectly.” Elwer was also proud of his bench play, explaining “Jake Csukker had the best game of his career guarding Knapke when Tyler went to the bench with his second foul.
