Lexington Christian Academy 53 Pikeville 42 (All 'A' Classic - Quarterfinals)

[B-Ball-fan]

With LCA’s victory tonight over the Elijah Justice coached Pikeville Panthers, the Final Four of the All ‘A’ Classic is now set. 

While the Eagles did a good job of keeping Pikeville at bay, the Panthers, minus 2 key players, kept focused with good ball movement and passing to give themselves a fighting chance. 

The 1st quarter ended close with LCA up only by 1, 13-12

The 2nd quarter got out of hand with the Eagles taking a 14 point lead into halftime with a 12-0 run to end the quarter with the score 34-20. 

Pikeville not wanting to go away won the 3rd stanza 19-8, cutting the lead to 3 by the end of the quarter with LCA up 42-39 and it was game on, or so we thought. 

The 4th quarter went again to LCA 9-3 with the final score at 53-42. 

Though the Panthers kept fighting hard nothing would drop for them, and so now LCA will go on to face St. Henry in the Final Four of the All ‘A’ Classic, Friday March 5th @ 7:30 @ the McBrayer Arena @ EKU. 

For the Eagles, Tanner Walton led all scorers with 19, Jeffrey Selby had 12, Brayden Mirus had 11, and Tyler Hall had 11. 

For the Panthers, Alex Rogers had 11, Laithan Hall had 8, Lukas Manns had 6, and Tate Walters had 4.
