Lack of snow means no skiing yet at Snoqualmie Pass

The Summit at Snoqualmie is in a ski resort slump. This time last year the pass had about four feet of snow, but on Monday it barely has a foot. To the Summit's chagrin -- and the surprise of some skiers -- there's not enough snow to open the ski mountain.

AKRON, Ohio -- Displaying its impressive depth, No. 4 St. Ignatius held on for a hard-fought 74-64 road boys basketball victory over No. 7 St. Vincent-St. Mary.

Eight players scored for the Wildcats, including senior Eric Black, who had a game-high 24 points.

This post will be updated with game reaction and video shortly.

The Irish delivered an early blow with a 7-0 start to the game, but an 11-4 scoring advantage off the bench in the first half allowed the Wildcats to hit halftime only trailing 35-34.

After a 1-5 start to the season, the Irish stormed back with two wins, including a victory over No. 5 Shaker Heights last Saturday. But Tuesday's loss drops the team to 3-6 overall.

Meanwhile, St. Ignatius (6-0) continues its busy week on Friday against University of Detroit Jesuit before playing No. 3 Central Catholic at the Scholastic Play-By-By Classic on Sunday at Baldwin Wallace.
