DuPont Manual 80 - Christian Academy 27 (7th Region Tournament)
#1
Final
#2
Just wrong lol
#3
The Manual Machine continued to roll Wednesday night. April Wilson had 13 points and all 13 Lady Crimsons scored at least two in an 80-27 rout of Christian Academy in a semifinal of the Class Act Seventh Region Tournament at Bellarmine University’s Knights Hall.

Wilson took control early, scoring five points as Manual jumped ahead 10-2, and the Lady Crimsons never were threatened from there.

“She was assertive with her play and her attitude,” Lady Crimsons coach Stacy Pendleton said. “When she’s like that it’s very difficult for us to lose. She’s such a great leader.”

Manual (32-2), No. 1 in The Courier-Journal’s Litkenhous Ratings, improved its winning streak to 17 entering Saturday’s 8 p.m. championship game against Assumption (17-13). Manual beat the Rockets 82-48 on Dec. 16.

Wednesday’s victory continued a recent run of blowouts for Manual. Since beating No. 2 Marion County 47-40 on Jan. 28 in the final of the Louisville Invitational Tournament, it has won 11 straight games by an average of 45.5 points. The closest was a 65-38 victory over Butler on Feb. 18.

Pendleton said he’s not worried about how his team might respond in a tight game during the rest of the postseason.

“I think the December and January schedule prepared us for close games,” he said. “The reason a lot of our games are a larger margin than they could be is because of my bench. … I’d rather go through it and win by 45 every game, but I don’t see that happening.”

Manual led CAL 18-7 after one quarter and 40-10 at halftime. The Lady Centurions hit just 3 of 26 first-half shots (11.5 percent) and committed 17 turnovers, with Manual turning them into 14 points.

China Dow finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds and six steals for CAL, which shot 20 percent (10 of 50) and committed 28 turnovers.

Destony Curry had nine points and 10 rebounds and LeAsia Wright nine points for the Lady Crimsons.
