Final

 

Huge crowd and exciting game.

 

Birds had ball with 10 sec left down 2 and played it out having to settle for a 34 footer by Starkey that was short.

[Jack of all Trades]

Hard fought game by both teams as each left it on the floor. Shame someone had to lose.

[Pete Mitchell]

Sounds like Sisson and gulley had their best combined game of the year; that accurate?

[Indiana Patrick]

Thinking about going on Friday to the finals between NCC and Newport. Will there be any room or tix available? Sounds like it was a packed house tonight.

Think i called this outcome

[Midway]

NCC caught 3 big breaks.... Top of the key 3 banked in late....Crazy contested lob that went as high as the top of the backboard and then fell in for three point play and Hall with baseline jumper that was off but scuffed the side of the backboard into the bucket. Super tight game but NCC had the bball gods on their side tonight!

[Bird Bath]

Box score?

Congrats to the Breds.

[Qryche11]

Breds did have luck on their side especially the Pangallo bank in 3 from the top of the key.

 

Luken's big 3rd qtr was the difference.

 

Both teams did leave it on the floor.

 

Congrats to the Birds Seniors and best of luck to them in the future.

 

Tyler Gulley was a beast tonight for the Birds. Huge game, blocking shots, scoring and a big baseline dunk early in the game to get the crowd rocking.

 

Sisson had huge game as well. He is a top player in the Region.

 

Vinson was big in 4th Qtr with 2 FT's made in hostile environment late and a huge corner 3.

 

Schoellman also had a nice ballgame drilling a few treys.

GREAT game. Electric atmosphere! Exactly what a district semi-final should.

[Qryche11]

I was stuck next to NCC student section and they were LOUD!! Lol Both cheering sections were great. Perfect atmosphere for HS Hoops.
