The final score doesn't indicate how close this game was. The score was 45-44 with Fairdale leading after three quarters, but Robert Shaw and Will Glasford led a furious 16-0 run that saw St. Xavier go from down 3 to up 13 in a matter of minutes.

 

Alex Jones was fantastic all night and led St. Xavier with 20 points.

 

Josh Payne led Fairdale in the first half with 13 points, 4 of those came right before half off of two steals which resulted in a lay-up then a fantastic dunk. However, St. X shut him down in the second half as he only scored 7 points with most of those coming after St. X had put the game away.

 

This was one of the most exciting games I've seen this year and it was played at a break neck pace with tons of lead changes. Credit goes to both teams as they both came to play and put on a great show.

 

Scorers are as follows.

 

Fairdale: Josh Payne 20, Boo Crabtree 5, Darren Lowrey 13, Caleb Longacre 7, Corey Thomas 11 and Jordan Clark 5.

 

St. Xavier: Justin Moody 7, Ryan Callahan 2, Robert Shaw 17, Will Glasford 17, Alex Jones 20, John Tobe 3 and Brock Kiesler 9.

It was awesome, very up tempo, but still plenty of good defense being played. Alex Jones and Josh Payne were battling, Payne is such a smooth player very fun to watch him play.
