⚔️ ? | The Crusaders invade Park Hills tonight. Tipoff is slated for 7:30.

M | Moeller (16-5, GCLS 3-3, OH #16*) is led by 6-5 senior forward Alex Kazanecki (16.8 p, 6.4 r), reigning GCL South PoY and Cincinnati Enquirer Co-PoY. They'll have a size advantage across the front, with four more 6-3 to 6-6. Lots of experience on the court; they'll likely start all seniors.

Expect Moeller to play a "typical" GCL style - patient offense paired with a grinding defense. 

CCH | The Colonels (20-7, R9 10-1, KY #4*) will try to dictate the pace, speeding up the game. Bradshaw is going to need a big game and the streaky shooting from the guards needs to be on point. The defense has improved over the last few games imo.

Turnovers and free throws critical in this one as always. Expecting this to be a battle.
