ANOTHER UPSET IN SECTIONAL 14

Poor third quarter costs East in 54-47 loss to Bloomington North

By Greg Mengelt of Inside the Game

 

Columbus East was outscored 18-2 in the second quarter and its comeback bid fell short in a 54-47 Sectional 14 semifinal loss to Bloomington North.

 

East led 25-21 at halftime before managing just two points in the third period and trailed 39-27 at the end of the third quarter. East hit just one of nine shots from the field in the third quarter. Full Story

NOT PRETTY BUT EFFECTIVE

No. 1 New Albany advances, 62-49

By Mike Hutsell of The Evening News & Tribune

 

From a fan’s perspective, it might not have been the Dogs’ prettiest effort of the season.

 

But New Albany head coach Jim Shannon liked he saw from his troops, as he lauded his team’s shooting and defense. Full Story

 

 

Class 3A, Sectional 30 at North Harrison

Charlestown 85, Crawford County 68 

 

CHARLESTOWN CRUISES PAST 'PACK

By Matthew Cress of The Evening News & Tribune

 

If Charlestown’s first postseason game was meant for the history books, this one was meant for the highlight reel.

 

Fresh off Tuesday’s unforgettable double-overtime victory over Salem, the Pirates avoided any hangover from the big win and dumped Crawford County 85-68 in the first semifinal of the Class 3A North Harrison Sectional on Friday night. Full Story

 

Silver Creek 54, Corydon Central 43

 

SILVER CREEK TOP CORYDON

To move into sectional championship

By Matthew Cress of The Evening News & Tribune

 

Silver Creek used a stingy defense and some clutch free throw shooting to knock off Corydon Central Friday night in the semifinals of the class 3A sectional at North Harrison, 54-43.

 

“I thought our defense was very good tonight. It was a big key for us,” Dragons head coach John Bradley said. Full Story

 

Class 2A, Sectional 47 at Brownstown Central

Eastern 45, Brownstown Central 43 

 

MUSKETEERS ADVANCE, 45-43

Eastern takes come-from-behind win over Braves

By Greg Mengelt of Inside the Game

 

Eastern trailed nearly the entire game, but a Clayton Starrett 3-point play gave the Musketeers their first second-half lead with 2:39 left and the Musketeers went on to a 45-43 victory.

 

Brownstown had a chance to tie the score at the buzzer. Full Story

Paoli 73, Clarksville 62

 

CLARKSVILLE TURNS OVER UPSET HOPES

Turnovers makes Generals' halftime lead disappear

By Jon Reiter of The Evening News & Tribune

 

The Clarksville boys’ basketball team had more than its fair share of opportunities to knock off heavily-favored Paoli in Friday night’s Class 2A sectional semifinal.

 

But, undone by an onslaught of turnovers, the Generals fell 73-62 to the Rams. Full Story

 

 

Class A, Sectional 62 at Borden

By Mike Hutsell of The Evening News & Tribune

 

The Rebels trailed throughout the first three quarters, but outscored the Lions 21-9 in the final period and scored a 45-39 victory.

 

South Central scored the final nine points in the game, tying the contest on a 3-point play from William Hockenberry with 1:30 to go. Full Story

Borden 60, Lanesville 54

 

BRAVES ENTER FINAL LEG

Borden one step from first sectional crown

By Mike Hutsell of The Evening News & Tribune

 

Almost like the villain in a horror movie, the Eagles came back relentlessly every time it appeared Borden had the victory finished.

 

The Braves led by eight in the first quarter, only to see Lanesville rally to pull ahead 24-23 in the second. Full Story

 

Class 3A, Sectional 28 at Greensburg

Madison 52, Franklin County 45
 

SECTIONAL 28 FINAL WILL FEATURE TWO DEFENDING CHAMPIONS

Poor third quarter costs East in 54-47 loss to Bloomington North

By Greg Mengelt of Inside the Game

 

Defending sectional champions Madison and Batesville will meet for the 2008 Sectional 28 title on Saturday.

 

Due to realignment, the Cubs and Bulldogs, who also won a regional title in 2007, will be forced to face each other for the crown.

 

After third-ranked Batesville knocked off South Dearborn, 41-30 in the first semifinal, Madison was a 52-45 winner of Franklin County in Game 2. Full Story
