Section V Class AA1/AA2 crossover – Irondequoit 68, Rush-Henrietta 57

 

Irondequoit weathered an early storm after falling behind 13-0 to start the  game, outscoring the Royal Comets 41-28 in the second half to advance to the regionals against Jamestown this Saturday at Blue Cross Arena.  Josiah Heath scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, while Nick Doktor finished with 17 points and 11 assists in the win.

 

Mandell Thomas scored 33 points to lead Rush-Henrietta.

 

Section V Class A1/A2 crossover – Aquinas 59, Bishop Kearney 54

 

After falling behind by 14 points in the first quarter, Aquinas outscored the Kings 36-21 in the second and third.  The Lil Irish scored 24 points off of Bishop Kearney turnovers to overcome a disadvantage in the paint.  Neither team shot well from beyond the arc - Aquinas was 5-19, while Bishop Kearney missed all 12 attempts.

 

Alex Baron led Aquinas with 15 points, while Phil Valenti scored 12 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and had five assists. 

 

Sophomore Chinonso Obokoh scored 14 points and ripped 22 boards for the Kings.

 

Section V Class B1/B2 crossover – Charlotte 67, Mynderse 59

 

Alexshay Pearse scored 13 of his team-high 19 points in the second half as Charlotte was able to put a close and entertaining game, that featured 11 ties and 15 lead changes, away in the final minutes.  The Lakesiders finished with four different players in double figures.  Cassadaga Valley will need to effectively break the press when they face this aggressive team.

 

David Lynch scored a game-high 28 points to lead Mynderse.

    Coach Clifford doesn’t have 2 worry about Charlotte’s bench….they don’t have one. Zero points. 3 underclassman though who had 35 of their 67 points….book the Olean-Charlotte Regional B game next March at Buff State….

    Bishop Kearney leads Aquinas, 21-7, after the first quarter and look very good. The Kings are rolling with a 6-9 sophomore and a 6-6 8th grader…unbelievable!

    Kearney lost 2 Aquinas by 16 and 5 during the regular season. Other 2 losses 2 St Mary’s – #1 ranked Class A in State – and Henniger – Section 3 Class AA champs. This team inside is SICK! Up 14 early! East is in TROUBLE!

    Aquinas up 1 4:40 left what a game. East will have 2 play a VERY good game 2 win…if Fisher exploed for like 30 they could win. It’s not impossible but will b tough against either team. Good crowd here at Blue Cross. Food is pretty weak. Makes Buff State look like the Chop House.

    A 13-0 run to start the game for Rush-Henrietta, capped off with a nice dunk by Mandell Thomas.

    East will need to force Aquinas to shoot from the perimeter like Falls did at Cataract Classic. Early in that game Aquinas beat their man to man pretty easily, their a pretty solid team thats hard to pressure because all five are competent handlers. NF actaully went zone for part of that game and Aquinas struggled hitting the three.
