St. Joe 47 Penn 44

A super City Series win for the Hawks who trailed by 5 but then reeled off the last 8 points of the game. Matty Goukas nailed a clutch three, Cliff Anderson threw down a monster slam, and Jameer hit three free throws. The beginning of the game was great, as both crowds were allowed to throw streamers onto the court after their team's first basket. This is a great Palsetra tradition, but in recent years it has been discontinued because it will result in a delay of game call.

The Hawks are now 3 - 0 in the Big 5 with only 3 - 0 'Nova standing between them and the Big 5 title. The " Holy War " is on February 7. Put the women and children away. You heard it here first Hawks 61 Nova 60 !
