This Jabari Covington kid for Newport is pretty good. 
 

HC with a timeout, up 42-36, 5:56. 
 

Possible injury watch. Newport fouled Javier Ward in the first possession and he hit the floor square on his back. Couldn’t make the FT attempts. Currently out of the game. 
 

Back to back 3’s for HC. 

48-36, HC

Does nobody block out anymore?  Is that no longer a thing?

End of 3rd Q

Holy Cross - 57

Great back and forth affair but the Indians just keep finding a way to stay ahead.  This Newport team is talented.  Started 2 Freshman, 1 sophomore, 1 Jr and 1 Sr.

Losing #55 for Holy Cross has completely opened up the middle for #5, the Sr for Newport. 
 

Less than a minute to go and we are tied for the first time tonight.

FINAL

Holy Cross - 74

Newport - 72

Newport tried to get off a shot from the corner but may have been partially blocked.  They suffer their first loss in region this year. They are a good team that would have done some damage down state. 
 

For Holy Cross, they are a Senior led team that fought tooth and nail all game. They NEVER TRAILED and led by as many as 15 points. They have got to clean up their 4th quarter play if they want to win the whole thing, I think. 
 

That was fun, glad I came.
