Campbell dropped 38 on Grace last night ( including a boomer), it is either a school record or tied for it. Scored 10 of 13 in OT. That's without 3 starters ( Reynolds, Cole Smith, Cerny). Again, hope Luke Smith is ok, saw him in cast.

Hope I'm wrong Q, and by your reaction sounds like I am. Heard it yesterday at Frosh tourney.

Did AC play in the freshman tournament?  Catholic is playing Oak Ridge on Thursday in the championship.

Lost to Farragut & Hardin Valley

Catholic ended their series with Webb in fashion, the Spartans jumped out to a 44-24 lead in the third and the Irish came storming back behind 27 from Jordan Anderson and 23 from Zac Jancek. Catholic won 70-68.

Wow!! What a fitting end to that rivalry.

 

Alcoa beat Kingston 63-41 on our senior night, so we'll be the #3 seed in the tournament, meaning we'll face either CAK or Catholic in our first game. Should be fun!

Congrats to the Irish! Sounds like a great night.

Great effort from the Irish! Huge game from both Jordan Anderson and Zac Jancek but Connor Ostrowski deserves a huge shout out for both the great job he did running the team last night and getting those guys the ball but more importantly shutting down Webb's top player.

How will this affect the Region tournament as a whole smith being out for Catholic?

Obviously losing your top scorer and assist leader hurts but he may be back by the region tournament. He changes the style that Catholic normally has played. We are/were pushing the ball more this year than we ever have. I think we did a great job in reverting to our "old" style of play in the second half vs. Webb. Not many teams have the luxury of bringing in a player like Connor Ostrowski that has started at times over the past 3 years. We ran more set plays and took advantage of the skills that Jordan Anderson and Zac Jancek bring to the court. They scored 41 of the 47 second half points we scored in a huge comeback against Webb. Our depth will help offset Luke being out. We have consistently played 9 guys all year which really helps come tournament time.

Excellent point.  People forget that Connor started 17 games for Catholic as a sophomore when they were in AAA

Wow! Big win for the Irish. KCHS appears to be playing well down the stretch.
