Covington Holy Cross 87 Ryle 83

[Baseball Nut 24]

Final from Union.

Entertaining game from start to finish. Ryle jumped out to a quick 10 point lead shooting the ball extremely well in the first quarter leading 27-22 after one. Holy Cross would answer in the 2nd quarter with great 3-point shooting from Javier Ward and Jacob Meyer to take a 48-46 lead into halftime. The Indians gained control of the game in the 3rd quarter creating turnovers and transition baskets including a couple highlight dunks from Meyer (one a transition alley oop from Ward) and would lead by 8 heading into the 4th. Holy Cross would move their lead back out to as many as 13 but Ryle didn't quit in the final few minutes and the final score 87-83.

Jacob Meyer led the way with 43 points for the Indians. Javier Ward had another nice game adding 24 points. I was very impressed with Donovan Robinson who is a fun player to watch and has unlimited shooting range. Dominick Amorello had a great game in the paint for the Raiders.
