Conner 52 Newport Catholic 43 (9th Region Quarter-Finals)

[Lawnboy13]

NewCath goes scoreless from the 5:22 mark in the 4th (44-41 Conner) until the :10.5 mark.

 

Breds had more than ample opportunities to grab and hold onto a lead, but the bug (missed gimmes) that doomed the Highlands Bluebirds last night was caught by the Breds.

 

Congrats to Coach Stamm and team on a hard fought victory.

 

GREAT job of coaching by George Stoll, and hats off to the players for a great season in the face of many adversities this year.

Sounds like Stamm has played not to lose the last 2 games instead of attacking. That can be a recipe for disaster against a very strong Holmes team in the next matchup if Holmes beats Dixie.

I think NCC had a pretty good season...all things considered. They lost a senior player early and never really had Rice. I'm sure those were two components they were counting on to help bridge the gap with the youth they have coming up. It forced some of the youth to become go to players maybe a little earlier than expected. I think George does a great job there and they will be back in the hunt next year.
