Diocese of Superior seminarian Dan Tracy holds on to a trophy after the St. Francis de Sales Seminary team took second place in the De Sales Invitational, a basketball tournament hosted Feb. 18-20 at the Milwaukee seminary with visiting teams from other major seminaries across the country.
Teams from 12 seminaries competed in the second-annual tournament. The SFdS Shoremen took second place after being defeated by seminarians from Nebraska’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary. The championship game was a repeat from the inaugural tournament, although double the number of teams participated in the weekend event. (Submitted photo)
