Ray said he played terrible. 8 points 12 rebounds and missed 5 free throws. Said he's getting to work as soon as they get back.

Montverde holds on to win 52-42, they'll advance to the championship game for the 3rd consecutive year #CityofPalms

Trinity intentionally fouls Montverde....MVA makes two. Trinity answers with a 3pt. 49-39 w/ 19.4 to go. #CityofPalms

Montverde will be playing for their third championship in a row, up 47-36 with 44 secs left. Ben Simmons has a game high 16. #CityofPalms

Montverde starting to distance themselves now, Trinity just ran out of gas 47-33 with 1:23 to go #CityofPalms

Montverde leads it 45-32 with 1:58 to play. Would take a miracle for Trinity at this point. Ben Simmons has 8 points in the 4th.

Simmons with another acrobatic finish, Montverde up 41-32 with 4:40 to play #CityofPalms

Montverde closes the third quarter on a 12-1 run and takes a 37-30 lead into the fourth. Looking for 12th straight COP win. #CityofPalms

Montverde on 9-0 run, up 34-29 on Trinity, 1:10 left 3rd

Marcel Ponitka hits a huge 3 for MVA and then gets fouled going to the basket. It's 34-29 MVA 2:08 left in 3rd

It's clear that Trinity's plan is to take Simmons out of this game as much as possible. Getting doubled as soon as he gets it on the block

Montverde reclaims lead on Trinity with steal and breakaway slam from Ben Simmons. Up 30-29, 3:39 left 3rd #CityofPalms semi Ben Simmons almost walked back to Australia and the refs didn't call it #CityofPalms

Ray Spalding starting to assert himself down, Trinity up 29-26 early in the 3rd #CityofPalms

Half of #CityofPalms semi: #LSU recruit Ben Simmons 5 pts, #Louisville recruit Ray Spalding 3. Meanwhile #Marshall recruit Thieneman has 14

Christian is probably a lock for the all tourney team.

All I know is Christian has 14 and Simmons has 5. I wonder what the defensive assignments are for everyone though. I'll be sure to ask Ray afterwards.

Half: #Louisville Trinity leads No. 1 team in country Montverde 25-23. Ben Simmons, No. 1 SR in nation, has 5 points. #CityofPalms

Trinity held Montverde to 2 (!!) points in the second quarter and leads it 25-23 at halftime. Excellent defensive effort by the Rocks.

A Christian Thieneman pull up jumper gives Trinity a 1pt lead over Montverde, 24-23. Trinity takes first lead on Thieneman's pull-up jumper, 24-23. Thieneman has 14. @ndn #CityofPalms
