It was a great week for the 7th region as Saint Xavier defeated 6th Region Butler 83-76 to capture their first LIT Championship since 1965 and Guard Chance Dillingham was named tournament MVP and has proven he is one of the best guards in the 7th Region. Trinity lost to Saint Xavier in the semifinals 59-58 in OT on a controversial buzzer beater put back by St. X but video review showed the basket should have not counted, but Kentucky HS rules don't allow for video review so the basket counted. The game was an exciting back and forth game as neither team could put either away. Trinity's Julius Edmonds gave St. X trouble down low scoring 17 pts and getting 7 rebounds. Andrae Vasser also contributed 11 pts and 9 rebounds. St. X's Jermaine "Chief" Cameron led the Tigers with 14 pts and 6 rebounds. Connor Klein came off the bench for the Tigers and hit 4-6 threes and had 12 pts. This should set up a big rematch between St. X and Trinity on 1/26 at Bellarmine University in a packed house environment. Male lost to St. X 79-71 in the LIT. Manual lost to Butler 55-49 in the semifinals of the LIT. Eastern lost to Trinity 55-43 in the LIT.
