What an awesome first two games.

Game 1: Johnson Central 60-57 over Henry Clay in double overtime

Shane Hall led a gritty JC team over the eighth ranked team in the state. JC trailed most of the game but came back in the fourth quarter to tie it and eventually win it in double overtime. JC junior Shane Hall was easily the best player on the court and amazing they played most of game with him and four sophomores. They will be tough to handle this year but really watch out for next year. HC's standout junior Trey Grundy was a nice player but could not handle JC's Hall, actually I thought HC's best player was their point guard junior Christen Cunningham, smooth as butter.

Game 2: Trinity 55-53 over Madison Central

Game lived up to expectations as the second ranked Trinity edged third ranked Madison Central. Trinity made the trip without two starters (Quick/injury and Page/grades). Closely contested game throughout. The difference may have been Trinity's depth. Trinity senior standout Darryl Hicks (recruited by mid-majors) had a good game but guard Miles Rice hit two free throws with 0.5 seconds left to win it. These two play again on Feb 1.

Finally, I just wanted to say what a well run "tourney" this was. Friendly people with a community well behind them made it a very fun day. They had entertainment and drawings. If you get a chance you should try to go one year.
