Fairdale will play the Trinity/PRP winner in the 11:30 am semifinal.

 

For Fairdale, Cory Thomas led the way with 23 points.

 

Boo Crabtree kicked in 13.

 

Josh Payne had 12 points, including 5 free throws down the stretch to help Fairdale increase what was at the time a pretty tenuous lead.

 

For Butler, Demetrius McReynolds was the player of the game with 15 points and at least 8 rebounds (I lost count).

 

 

Jeremiah Bell had 15 as well and William Johnson added 10 points to go with his six rebounds.

Not for nothing, congratulations to Fairdale's Josh Payne for scoring his 1,000th career point on his first basket tonight. That's a seriously great achievement.

I think that needs it's own thread, and I'd be tickled to be the guy to start it.
