How many points did meyer get?

[Baseball Nut 24]

Frantic pace tonight up on “The Hill”. Holy Cross led by as many as 23 in the 2nd half. They have now won 12 of their last 13 games and are 19-6 on the season. There were several college scouts in attendance.

Senior Jacob Meyer led all scorers with 41 points, 4 assists and 6 steals. He needs 15 points to tie and 16 to become the new 9th region scoring leader. Next game is Saturday at home on senior night vs Dixie. Game time is 6:00 pm.

Meyer wasn’t the only Holy Cross player with a big night. Senior center Sam Gibson recorded a triple-double with 13 points, 14 rebounds and 10 Blocks. Senior Javier Ward added 28 points. Sophomore Will McElheney started in place of Jacob Smith (ill) and had a season-high 11 points.

The Breds were led by senior Coby Kramer with 28 points. Sophomore Ian Mann added 20.

The Indians are rolling right now!  Nice to see their runner-up finish at the All "A" hasn't derailed their season.  Every HC fan should enjoy this run.  It's a special group of Seniors that are having a very special year.

The Indians have to be the most entertaining team in the 9th.  Only seen them play twice, and I am a little biased because I know a couple people close to the program, but damn they are fun to watch and follow.

This team has come along way since the summer.  Agree they get after it and are very entertaining.   The emergence of Gibson has a lot to do with it.

Sam is the key IMO.  Meyer will score 30+ basically whenever he wants.  Ward can put up some numbers also.  Dreas will lock down the defense and Smith will contribute.  We need the big man to step up and do what we know he is capable of every night.  He already is a deterent underneath but when he is playing aggressive, blocking and really battlng on the boards it is tough for teams to pick their poison.  The Indians also need to stay out of their own way.  Focus, keep their heads in the game and play smart and they can have a very successful post season.
