Game played in Hawaii as part of the Iolani Classic. Catholic will play tomorrow in the 2nd round and their likely opponent will be nationally ranked Montverde, FL. Montverde plays a local team from Hawaii in their first round game.

 

Should Lexington Catholic and Mason County both lose tomorrow, they would play each other in a consolation game Monday.

 

Don't have any stats, but judging from the quarter by quarter updates, Catholic jumped out to be a big lead early, that lead was cut down to 3 by the end of the 2nd quarter and was just a 5 point lead going into the 4th before they pulled away and won.

And how is a KY team able to play them? Did the rules change?

Good question, that's how the bracket is setup. Danny Weddle mentioned tonight the Royals likely playing Mt Vernon on Saturday. The other matchups in the upper half of the bracket are set. I know Danny said that if by some chance Mason County or Catholic got to the finals, they would not be able to play Oak Hill.

Montverde is a member of the FHSAA for all sports except basketball, I would think their basketball team would be considered the same as Oak Hill.

 

BTW I think it's a HORRIBLE rule by the KHSAA!

I know the KHSAA rules and that's why the last time Mason County went to Hawaii, it was a round robin format since they couldn't play one of the other schools.

 

I would think if it was a problem the brackets would have been setup differently, they are still showing Catholic playing Montverde in the 2nd round. Montverde was up 33-0 after 1 quarter against the Hawaii team they are playing right now. It's 61-11 at the half.

 

In the write up on the tournament website, they mention Mason County next playing Lexington Catholic in the 2nd round. So that could end up being what they do, just strange and with this problem, why even invite any Kentucky schools to this tournament if you will have schools not a part of their state's athletic association.

Montverde, FL wins their game against a local Hawaii team 103-30. Here is the writeup on the game.

 

Lexington Catholic set the tone of the game early by harassing Tsinghua with full court pressure. After trailing by 15 after the first, Tsinghua was able to break down the press in the second quarter to cut the lead to 27-25 at halftime. The Dragons were also able to force a few turnovers of their own with their swarming defense.

 

Tsinghua kept the game close and cut the lead to one late in the third quarter, but its inability to consistently break down the press eventually became its downfall. Turnovers piled up as the Knights extended their lead.

 

Although the Dragons had a size advantage (all players are 6’2″ and over) and displayed athleticism by consistently taking the ball to the hole, they lacked a point guard who could handle the ball.

 

The Knights were led in scoring by Taylor Martin (22 points), who is a Kentucky baseball commit, and 3-point specialist Scott Schuette (20 points, four 3-pointers). They will play the winner of the Montverde vs. St. Louis game.
