As Doug Costin shuffled to the bench with five minutes to play Tuesday night and a win securely in hand, the Bishop Shanahan center had plenty of time to ponder just how comprehensive a performance his Eagles had fashioned.
Shanahan throttled Bonner-Prendergast, 62-39, in the final of the Marple Newtown Holiday Tournament, thoroughly dominating every aspect of the affair from start to finish.
By the time Costin took his final walk to the sidelines, the damage was prolific: 13 points, 14 rebounds, a team-high four assists in orchestrating a devastating high-low offense and the kind of defensive post presence that completely unseated any plan of attack Bonner could’ve entered with.
