The Mt. Vernon Marauders lead early and control the game throughout in a 45-30 win over #7 Greensburg this afternoon. MV scored the first 13 points of the game and then never saw the lead drop below seven the rest of the night. Jake Stafford had a big start, with seven first-quarter points, a couple of steals, a blocked shot and a couple of early rebounds. He finished with 10 points. D'Armond Davis had a game-high 13 points and was our Indiana Basketball Digest Player of the Game for his offensive, defensive and rebounding prowess, while Daniel Turner had 11. MV led 15-8 after a quarter, and extended the lead in the second despite scoring just four points (the Marauders outscored Greensburg 4-2 in the period).
Like a lot of Marauder opponents, Greensburg struggled to find shots against MV. Ty Miller got a few looks inside and finished with 12 of the Pirates' 30 points, but the Pirates never could make a serious run at the Marauders.
Tonight's foe is Danville, which had to pull a Houdini act to beat Brebeuf. The Braves led for much of the day and led by as many as seven points at 32-25. But Danville rallied, led by 6-10 Purduer recruit Travis Carroll, who had 25 points. Brebeuf missed two chances at the line to put it away. Jordan Widener hit two free throws for Danville with four seconds left to win it for the Warriors 47-46. Carroll (19ppg) and Widener (16 ppg) are the top two scorers for a Warriors team that has been rarely challenged.
It should be a state championship game atmosphere from Garrett Gym in Shelbyville tonight. One team moves on to next week's semistate at either Southport or Seymour. Listen LIVE at www.crosscomsports.com.
