  • Revenge is sweet - Angels pick up pay-back win over bitter-rival Providence Catholic

    Drake Skleba, For the Bugle|Updated Feb 24, 2021

    One week ago in New Lenox, the Providence Celtic girls varsity basketball team defeated the Joliet Catholic Academy Angels 61-58. The two Roman Catholic schools went after each other for 32 minutes. Revenge. For someone to seek revenge against another fails to follow the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. After the heart-breaking defeat the Angels suffered to their bitter rivals, we believe the Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet would absolve the Angels in their quest for revenge. Behind a career-high 32-point performance...
