Benton’s Smith, Lafayette’s Kirby sign letters of intent to play college basketball

Posted on April 30, 2015

Two St. Joseph high school seniors signed letters of intent on Wednesday to play college basketball next season.

Benton’s Fabian Smith signed with Malcolm X College in Chicago, while Lafayette’s O’Shaye Kirby will play at Southwestern Community College in Creston, Iowa.

Smith has been a three-year starter for the Cardinals and led Benton in scoring and assists last season as he averaged 15.4 points and 2.9 assists per game. The 6’2″ guard helped the Cards with a big turnaround as they finished 14-11 after winning just 11 games total in the previous three seasons.

Kirby had a breakout season in 2014-2015 for Lafayette as he played in just 16 games as a junior and scored ten total points for the Class 4 runners-up. But as a senior, the 6’4″ forward averaged 9.3 points per game and led the Fighting Irish in rebounding at 6.8 per contest, as he helped LHS to a 20-5 record and the No. 1 ranking in Class 4 entering the postseason.

Malcolm X is a NJCAA Division I team and they finished 17-14 this past season, while Southwestern is Division II in the NJCAA and they went 23-10 last season.

Benton knocks off Lafayette to win second straight district championship

Posted on March 6, 2015

The Benton girls’ basketball team won its second consecutive district championship Friday night with a 46-30 victory over Lafayette in the Class 4 District 16 title game at Savannah.

The Cardinals fell behind 4-0 Friday night to their cross-town rivals, but they ended the first quarter on a 9-0 run and never trailed again.

Benton extended its lead to 24-17 at halftime and 32-22 at the end of the third quarter. The Fighting Irish could only get as close at eight points in the fourth quarter before losing by 16.

Kylee Williams led the Cardinals with 18 points, while Mallory McAndrews added 17.

BHS improves to 25-2 this season and they’re won 17 consecutive games, while Lafayette ends its season 18-8.

Benton will play a Class 4 Sectional at Staley High School Tuesday against the winner of District 15 at 7:45 PM. Lincoln Prep will battle Notre Dame de Sion in the District 15 championship game Saturday at 5:00 PM.

Tuesday’s sectional game will be broadcast on 680 KFEQ and here on StJosephPost.com.
