8th grade St. Henry over St. Thomas SPP over St. Paul Sets up the championship game tomorrow. St. Henry Vs. SPP

St. Henry and St. Thomas have played twice this year, with St. Thomas winning both, but both games were competitive. St. Paul and SPP split the 2 meetings this year, and should go down to the wire again.

8th grade results only. As stated above, St. Thomas and St. Henry were victorious. The other side of the bracket St. Paul over St. Mary and SPP over Holy Cross. Should be a good final four. Gibson kid for St. Joe's played really well against the 2 big kids from St. Henry, but turnovers and not being able to handle pressure did them in.

In my opinion, it's less about the 1 point and more about the mental aspect of the play. Momentum of games can be huge depending on the timing of it. If a team needs a spark a 4 point play can do exactly that, thus allowing the mental part and excitement back into a team. On the other hand giving up the 4 point play if you are down and trying to mount a comeback can be demoralizing and take the wind out of your sails. Psychology has an enormous effect on the outcome of games. More so than people account for.

Cam Geisler (St. Thomas) is very good at getting to the basket. Plays with the 8th grade team.

Not sure either, but that gives me a place to start.

Thanks for the info.

I hear there is a big kid @ RA Jones and another at Tichenor. Does anybody have names on these 2 8th graders?
