HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Bobby St-Preux scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds Saturday night as Northern Kentucky won the John L. Griffin/ Lions Club Classic championship.

        St-Preux, a junior forward playing in his first season at NKU, earned most valuable player honors after making 8-of-11 shots from the field. Craig Sanders added 20 points for NKU and earned all-tournament honors.

        The Norse's Carl Mitchell scored 17 points, blocked two shots and had four steals to earn the tournament's best defensive player award.

        NKU shot 76.7 percent from the field in the second half to hand Central State (4-1) its first loss.

        “Bobby St-Preux had an impressive debut for us this weekend, and he's a very good player,” NKU head coach Ken Shields said. “We had a very balanced attack against Central State, and our shooting in the second half was outstanding.”

        NKU will play host to Thomas More College at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday night.
