Trinity Stops Ballard in Overtime
Shamrocks to Play for Second LIT Title Tonight
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trinity overcame an eight point halftime deficit to beat Ballard 69-63 in overtime and advance to the finals of the 63rd Coca-Cola/Republic Bank Louisville Invitational Tournament in a Saturday morning contest at Atherton High School.
Senior Mr. Basketball candidate Josh Sewell had a game high 28 points, equaling his season high, to lead the Shamrocks. Sewell was playing in his 100th career game.
Trinity will face Eastern in the championship game of the Louisville Invitational Tournament at 8pm tonight at Bellarmine’s Knights Hall.
The Shamrocks advance to the finals of the tournament for the second time in program history. Trinity beat Jeffersontown in the finals of the 2005 event.
Trinity is looking to become the first team to claim the King of the Bluegrass, Republic Bank Holiday Classic and Louisville Invitational Tournament championship in the same year. Trinity claimed the 2009 Canfield Development King of the Bluegrass on Dec. 22, 2009 with a 59-42 win over Seneca. The Rocks won the 2009 Republic Bank Holiday Classic after a 60-58 overtime win against host Lexington Catholic on Dec. 30, 2009. The Shamrocks are the only team in history to reach the finals of all three tournaments in the same year, accomplishing the feat in 2004-2005. Trinity won the Republic Bank Holiday Classic (then the Fifth Third Bank Classic) and Louisville Invitational Tournament but suffered a loss in the finals of the King of the Bluegrass.
After trailing 35-27 at the half, Trinity scored 12 of the first 15 points of the second half to tie the game at 38. After the 38-38 tie, neither team could pull ahead by more than five points before the contest went to overtime.
In the overtime, Ballard opened with a three-pointer by DeVante Parker before the Shamrocks reeled off six straight points by Charles Foster. After taking the lead at 61-60, they Rocks never trailed again.
