The Knights (#10, 11-3) were set to make the trip to Cleveland to take on Villa Angela-St Joseph, but the game was canceled late Thursday night. The Knights eventually found another opponent in the Louisville Leopards (7-6). Hoban was looking to quickly rebound from their disappointing loss on Tuesday and jumped on Louisville right from the start. The boys from Hoban came out and set the tone right away on defense, forcing Louisville into 10 first quarter turnovers. The offense also seemed to be clicking as it scored 18 points in the period, led by Isaiah Young (6pts) and Jonas Nichols (6 points). Both teams traded buckets in the second quarter with each team scoring 14 points, making the score at halftime 32-24 with Hoban on top.

The second half was more of the same as Coach TK made a few small tweaks and the defense locked in, holding Louisville to 1 point in the third period. Hoban blew the lead open by outscoring Louisville 14-1, taking a 46-25 lead into the fourth quarter. During the fourth quarter the Knights were able to get all 9 bench players into the game, but it was senior Juwan Coates, who stole the show as he dropped all of his 12 points in the quarter. The Knights enjoyed a huge bench performance with 27 points coming from their reserves. Hoban improves to 12-3 on the season after defeating Louisville 65-34 and begins preparation for a Tuesday night matchup at STVM.
