Christian Brothers Academy entered the
game as a heavy underdog, after all Half
Hollow Hills West was a Nationally
recognized team and the #1 team in New
York State. All that the Brothers
did was slay the giant of New York
Basketball and they did it in convincing
fashion.
The Brothers used powerful second and
third quarters to defeat the Colts 71-53
and earn the Class AA State Title.
Hills West entered the game highly
touted with two superstars on their team
but after getting himself in foul
trouble in the first half, Tobias Harris
found himself in a tough situation. The
Senior center had just tried to tip away
a pass intended for CBA's Max Weaver and
in the process hit Weaver in the head
and was whistled for his fourth foul.
Upset with the official's call, Harris
reacted emotionally and was given a
technical foul giving him his fifth
personal and disqualifying him from
further play in the game.
It has happened before. A key
player fouls out with 1:32 remaining,
but this time it was in the third
quarter.
After losing one of their two key
players, the focus turned immediately to
Tavan Sledge. The Junior swingman
has the ability to take over a game with
his athleticism and ability to jump
through the roof while also adding a
smooth shot from behind the arc.
Sledge did just that and netted a game
high 33 points for the Colts. His
effort was great but it was not enough
to propel the Section XI representatives
to victory.
To take down the New York basketball
giant, the Brothers had to summon the
three-headed monster that they have
called upon all season.
Galal Cancer led the Brothers with 19
points including 7-of-11 from the free
throw line.
Tournament MVP Kameron Ritter shot a
perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe
and added four field goals giving him 17
on the night and the third head of the
monster, Max Weaver netted 15 of his
own.
In all nine members of the newly crowned
state champions scored and the Brothers
will now move on to next weekends
Federation Tournament held once again at
the Glens Falls Civic Center. |
