Fillmore gets steely reception from Cards

Bishop Diego had more steals than Fillmore had points on Saturday, as the Cardinals claimed the Tri-Valley League victory with a suffocating 58-15 victory.

The Cardinals recorded 32 steals with an aggressive mindset, which carried over to offense.

“We did a good job of attacking the basket,” said Bishop head coach Jeff Burich.

Courtney Houston led Bishop with 10 points and seven steals while Essence Thornhill posted eight points and nine steals. Karina Valencia led the team in rebounding with 10 to go with eight points.

The Cardinals (12-12, 3-7) host St. Bonaventure on Tuesday for their Senior Night and then close out the regular season on Thursday on the road. Bishop is the No. 3 team in Division VI-AA.
