As usual in the GCL, not a lot of fouls called. Cov Cath was 5-8 on free throws to St. X's 5-6. McGillis had 16 points, and both Bradshaw & Harney had 13. Dylan Gaiser came in off the bench with 8 points including 2-2 from three point land.

This was a strong win for Cov Cath after hanging tough and winning a really great game against a very solid Lloyd squad. Go Colonels!

You got that right. Not for the faint of heart in the paint. But the refs are consistent, so no complaints from me.

I completely agree. For anyone team that plays in Cincinnati with any kind of regularity, especially in the GCL, they know that they better head into the game expecting the refs to "let them play the game." There aren't going to be many fouls called north of the Ohio River.
