Final.

Final.

 

McCreary led by 18 with a minute to go. The Cards scored seven quick to make score look better than the game was. More to come.

McCreary cuts down the nets!!!! First time in 19 years!!!!

Congrats to the Raiders on your district championship.

Raiders dominate from the tip to the final buzzer. Great way for he boys to be heading into regional play next week.

When will then region be drawn?

Tomorrow afternoon around 2:00.

McCreary jumped out to a 14-0 lead, and led 15-5 at the end of the fourth.

 

At the start of the second, the calls got a little more in the Cards favor and they cut it to seven. Jones called a time out, and McCreary ended the half on a run to lead 30-15 at the break.

 

To start the fourth quarter, McCreary jumped out to a 19 point lead. Wayne cut it to 13 twice, before McCreary extended it to 18 with :59 remaining. That's when Jones substituted all his players, while Woods left his boys out. After failing to inbound a few passes, Wayne racked up seven points in the final minute to cut the lead to seven.

 

Jones and the Raiders zoned the Cards all night, and at one time, looked to use a box-and-one on Dunigan. The Cards never converted and missed plenty of their threes. Dixon for the Raiders shot the three ball very well, as did Watts. Wright controlled Wayne's guards and was the superior point on the floor. The Raiders also corralled several offensive rebounds and Wayne just never could seem to get into any kind of movement. They shot a lot of airballs, and Dunigan was reliant on the three and never played in the paint.

 

Jones is a happy man, that's for sure. McCreary has a very, very good crowd. They travel very well. Monticello was like McCreary Central West for their two games and the fans really enjoyed themselves.

Big win for Jones. This probably saved his job.

I'd say the win over Southwestern was the savior. The district title over Wayne was just an added bonus!

Wayne Co. really struggled down the stretch this season, finising 4-9 in their last 13 games.

Wayne just did not play like the Wayne Co we seen earlier this year. McCreary really showed they could play as a team and each player that went in played strong. I think the fans that packed that gym really fed the Raiders the vibe they needed to stay aggressive and dominate. Great job by both teams.
