George Rogers Clark 59 Covington Holy Cross 57

[rjal]

George Rogers Clark  playing without Byars.  Very sloppy game all around. There were some interesting calls for sure. Holy Cross was winning 51 to 41 at the end of the third quarter. HC could not score the fourth quarter.  GRC called off the press fourth quarter HC had a tough time scoring with a half court offense. Holy Cross once again missed too many layups. They did better from the three-point line. But were out scored 18 to 6 in the fourth quarter.
 

One interesting call Holy Cross has the ball up two  I believe with a couple minutes left in the game number 10 for GRC gets her fifth foul. Either the scorer didn’t tell the refs the refs didn’t notice or something happened. She proceeds to stay in the game with Holy Cross on offense. Holy Cross misses a shot. She gets a rebound is fouled by Julia Hunt. At this time it’s realized that she was playing with 5 fouls. I don’t know what the official ruling is when that happens but Julia Hunt got a foul and a jump ball was called with GRC getting the ball.  They proceeded to score and tie the game.

Holy Cross had the ball with a tie game and 36 seconds. They called time out with 19 seconds. Get the ball stolen with 11 seconds. George Rogers Clark comes down and shoots a layup and gets fouled. Then shoots the ball and goes in. They wave off the basket because of the foul but allowed the time to run down to two seconds.  They make both free throws.  Time at time of foul was at least 4 to 7 seconds depending upon who you ask. Holy Cross gets the ball with only 2.4 seconds. They get a  decent three-point shot off just after the buzzer buzzes doesn’t count lose by two. 

[The Double Deuce]

Very impressive result, in general, GRC isn't only very good, but they are nearly unbeatable at home for a lot of reasons.  Losing at #2 by 2 is a missed opportunity, for sure, but is still an incredibly impressive result.
