Huge effort by Trinity.
Still did not play well the whole tournament on the offensive end of the floor but again won with a great defensive and team effort.
Had to overcome some very questionable officiating during Lex Cath comeback and a solid effort by the Lex Cath team.
Had to overcome point guard Corbett seeing limited action during second half due to foul trouble. With him in the game, Lex Cath pressure MUCH less effective!

Nice win for the Rocks. They became the first team ever to win both the KOB and Lexcath tourney. Very impressive.
How big was Jaylen Beckham for the Knights in a losing effort? 27 points against one of the best defensive teams in the state. It's easy to see why this kid is so highly regarded nationwide.

Congratulations Trinity!
Good to see Sewell have another good tournament, like I said last week, Mr. KY Basketball.:Thumbs:
Also good to see Corbett get some well deserved recognition for his efforts. He is the guy that does a lot that does not show up in the box score in the paper. He is the floor general for the Rocks, sees the open man, dives for the loose ball and plays some tenatious D.:Clap:

Congrats Rocks!
Looks like this was a great game with two very good players from both sides in Sewell & Beckham. I'll probably watch the replay of the game on WazooSports later.
