Final per Karli Bell

Yes!!! Good job Hornets!

Great game to watch. Two very good teams with some all time greats for their schools trading baskets. Hate to see either team lose but that's the nature of playoff basketball.

 

Magoffin closed on a 13-2 run to win game after it looked like Dylan James put the nail in the coffin with a deep trey at the 330 Mark of the 4th. It gave SC a 10 point lead. Magoffin fought back by pressing late and tied it on a Ryan Mullins highlight dunk.

 

Holding for 1 shot when tied, Magoffin took over a minute off the clock and Dalton Peter's was fouled with 1.1s to play. He missed the first badly and knocked down the second. SC threw it long but Kyle Risner intercepted it and that was the ball game.

 

After the game Ryan Mullins was being carried off by teammates and jumped off the plie and cut his right cheek pretty badly on the overhanging cinder blocks near locker room. I heard on his way home he was then in a car accident. Reports say he will be fine but will be real sore the next few days. Hope he is ok.

 

Dylan James led SC with 24. Jaren Lovely led Magoffin with 29. Magoffin will face Johnson Central in the championship Friday night.

Thanks for the update 15th! Sounds like a good one. How did the regular season games between Magoffin and JC turn out?

3/4 teams that can win the 15th are from the same district.

A huge steal and dunk to ignite the Hornets sting!

Magoffin defeated JC by 2 (@ Magoffin) in the first meeting. JC had a 9 point lead midway through 4th but the Hornets came back led by Trenton Russell. As time was winding down, Russell drove baseline and hit a reverse layup for the win (score was tied).

 

JC defeated Magoffin by 2 (@ JC). Magoffin led by 14 entering the 4th. JC standout Cole Crace fouled out in the 3rd and another JC starter (Austin Davis) fouled out early in the 4th. JC played the foul game to come back the entire 4th quarter and outscored Magoffin 41-25 in the frame. Mason Blair had 47 points. Magoffin saw Trenton Russell, Ryan Mullins, and Dalton Peters foul out in the 4th (past midway point) as well.

 

In the end it came down to FT's and Mason Blair. Magoffin shot 30/51 on the night (missing 13 in 4th quarter alone) and Mason Blair could not be stopped. Blair hit a very very deep 3FG to tie the game with 20s left then Dalton Collins (JC) stole a pass and went coast to coast for the lead and eventual game winner.

 

This should be a great game and a possible preview of the regional finals.

Trenton Russell any relation to Robbie Russell at Magoffin?
