For the first time, St. X’s Sterne Gym was featured in the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame’s (KHSBHF) “Glory Road” Project on Tuesday night versus Eastern.
This was the first time the Sterne gym has hosted the tiger basketball team since 2009. The Tigers marked the occasion with a dominant 91-46 victory.
This past week was an exciting week for the Sterne Gym. In addition to Tuesday night’s game, the historic gym hosted Catholic School’s Week mass, the annual faculty basketball game, and a blood drive, emphasizing the central role the gym plays at St. X. The gym being featured in the “Glory Road” project is a testament to the rich history and tradition that the Sterne Gym holds.
