Closer than I thought it would be.

Closer than I thought it would be.

In the last BGP rankings was #5 PRP and #9 J-town. Knew it would be a battle with either team winning.

Max Clemons says he no longer feels pressure, which came as a relief to the Pleasure Ridge Park High School boys’ basketball team Tuesday night.

Clemons scored 28 points, making two pressure-packed shots to help force overtime, and his teammates took it from there to post a 71-65 victory over Jeffersontown in a quarterfinal of the Class Act Sixth Region Tournament at Atherton.

“Max was a monster tonight,” PRP coach Dale Mabrey said. “He was hard to handle. He desperately wants to win.”

Clemons hit 12 of 17 shots and added five rebounds as the Panthers (25-6) — No. 2 in The Courier-Journal’s Litkenhous Ratings — advanced to face the Moore-Doss winner in Friday’s 7 p.m. semifinal.

Bellarmine signee Clemons has a big game.

If PRP is going to make it to Rupp, they'll likely have to do it at the expense of No. 8 J-Town, No. 6 Moore and No. 5 Bullitt East. That's a crazy gauntlet to run in a regional. If you're looking for good basketball this week, look no further than Knights Hall at Bellarmine University.
