Hoosier Authority Q & A: Edgewood’s Garrett Butcher

HoosierAuthorityâ??s
Boys Basketball Coordinator Chris May caught up with Edgewood junior forward
Garrett Butcher on February 20, 2007 after the Mustangsâ?? 82-35 win over
Cascade. Butcher, listed by the IHSAA as
the 10th leading scorer in the state this season, is leading the way
for the undefeated Mustangs. Here is
their conversation:

Chris May: Itâ??s a
perfect season so far, youâ??re the only undefeated team in the state, whatâ??s
that like?
Garrett Butcher: Right now, Iâ??m not even thinking about it that
much. Coach (Jay Brown) the last two
years has really put a lot of pressure on us to enjoy the season after the
season, but right now its pretty cool, Iâ??m not going to lie. Its something Iâ??ve always dreamed about since
I was a little kid â??? and so have the rest of the guys on the team â??? so from
that viewpoint its really cool. Itâ??s
something that we can say â??Weâ??re the only team in the state that is doing that
right nowâ?? and that puts us above a lot of teams.

CM: Is there one
win that has been more special or most memorable this year?
GB: Bloomington South. Theyâ??re a bigger school and itâ??s a rival and
the last two years we felt like we could play with them, but just havenâ??t got
it done and this year we finally got over the hump, I guess you could say.

CM: What have the
fan support and the crowds been like at your games?
GB: Theyâ??re incredible. I mean our student section, theyâ??re
crazy. I think we have the best student
section out of anybody weâ??ve played, even on the road weâ??ve had a better
student section. We usually have really
good fans that come out.

CM: When you talk
about yourself as a player, how would you describe your game?
GB:
Versatile. I think I can play
inside and out, if Iâ??ve got smaller guys on me I can go inside and if Iâ??ve got
somebody bigger, I can take them outside.
I think thatâ??s the best part of my game.

CM: It looks like
you really have some passing skills, is that something you pride yourself on
and try to display?
GB:
Yeah, everybody expects me to score, I guess, but passing gets
everybody else involved. Scoring helps
your team win, but getting everybody involved makes us undefeated I guess you
could say.

CM: What makes this team such a good team?
GB:
Chemistry. We have the best
chemistry of the last two years Iâ??ve played here, this is the best year by far,
weâ??ve all gotten along. Tom and I have
been playing basketball together since second grade and the rest of the guys
weâ??ve been playing baseball with since seventh and eight grade, so weâ??ve known
each other forever and its just great chemistry, weâ??re all best friends.

CM: Weâ??re getting ready for sectional play,
what are the teamâ??s goals and how far can you guys make it?
GB:
Our goal first is to win sectionals.
Last year we went into it as favorites and got upset so it was really
devastating to us because we thought we could win it, it was just
unfortunate. This year I think we can
win it and I think we can go far. Once
we get past sectionals, our regional is pretty tough.

CM: You donâ??t
want to say how far?
GB:
Nah, hopefully a state championship, but who knows.

CM: What can you or will you share about your
recruiting situation? Have coaches been
at most of your games?
GB:
Kent State, Butler, and Indiana were here tonight, but yeah, a lot
of the time theyâ??ve been here this year.
Every major basketball program in Indiana, besides Notre Dame, has been
to a game. Everybody has been here it
seems like. Purdue. Texas Tech has been calling, Marquette has
been to a couple of practices, so itâ??s pretty cool.

CM: What would you think about playing for
Coach Knight?
GB:
Everyone asks that! It would
be great, I think. I mean it couldnâ??t
get any better, growing up here in Ellettsville with someone Iâ??ve grown up
watching coach, so I think it would be awesome.
Some people have asked if it would be hard to deal with. Iâ??m sure it would, but what you get out of it
is just as good as what you put in.

CM: How do you handle this recruiting stuff
as a junior? Are you looking to get this
stuff out of your way soon or prolong this into your senior year?
GB:
Iâ??ll probably get it out of the way before my senior year, just so I
can relax a little bit my senior year and just go out and have a little bit
more fun with it and not have to worry about making a decision and everything
like that, just get it out of the way.

CM: So what do you do when youâ??re not on the
basketball court, what are your hobbies?
GB:
Hang out with friends.

CM: Are you a video game guy?
GB:
If itâ??s a good video game, Iâ??ll get real into it.

CM: Sports or more of the fighting games?
GB:
College football is the best.

CM: Whoâ??s your team?
GB:
I donâ??t really have one.

CM: What kind of music do you listen to?
GB:
Everything. Rap, country,
hip-hop, everything.

CM: Who is the best rapper?
GB:
Tupac. Heâ??s still the best.

CM:
Do you have any favorite subjects?
GB:
Probably history.

CM:
What would you want to major in?
GB:
Iâ??m not sure right now.
Architecture is looking pretty good, or education.

Edgewood coach Jay Brown on Butcher:
â??Heâ??s the best. I donâ??t even think Iâ??m
going out on a limb by saying heâ??s the best player on our schedule and heâ??s the
best player Iâ??ve seen this year. Heâ??s
able to score inside, he handles the ball, he shoots jump shots, he gets
rebounds, he makes his free throws, heâ??s really become a complete player. When you talk about Garrett his basketball
abilities are really only half of the package.
Heâ??s a wonderful, wonderful kid and you just couldnâ??t draw one up any
better.�

SEMISTATE: Brebeuf hangs on to edge Evansville Bosse, 55-53, on strength of Phillips’ 30 points, 19 boards

By Jeff Rabjohns


Indystar.com


 


JEFFERSONVILLE – Kendall Kreinhagen made her grandfather proud once again. This time, she had to beat his former team


 


Kreinhagen coached the sixth-ranked Brebeuf Jesuit girls basketball team to a 55-53 victory over No. 9 Evansville Bosse in a Class 3A semistate at Jeffersonville on Saturday afternoon.


 


It set up the second state title game appearance in four years for Brebeuf and Kreinhagen, whose grandfather Jerry Canterbury won 198 games as Bosse’s coach before retiring in 1990.


 


“It’s one of those bittersweet things being that I grew up in that gym at Bosse High School with my grandfather. I know in his heart he wanted me to win, but he wasn’t going to be that sad if Bosse won,” said Kreinhagen, whose grandfather was among a strong contingent of family at the game.


 


“The thing is, this is for these kids and I’m so happy for them.”


 


Brebeuf, which won the 2004 Class 3A title, takes a 22-6 record into Saturday’s 6 p.m. championship game against No. 8 Wawasee (22-3) in Conseco Fieldhouse. The Warriors, who upset No. 1 South Bend St. Joseph’s 58-46 in the Elkhart Semistate, lost to Brebeuf 58-53 on Dec. 23.


 


The Braves — who outrebounded the Bulldogs 42-27 — needed a furious rally in the final 1 minute, 40 seconds against Bosse (22-4) after a 10-point, second-half lead slipped away.


 


Brebeuf trailed 53-48 when Whitney Gray hit the last of four consecutive Bosse 3-pointers. The Braves made two crucial steals in the final stretch, and didn’t allow the Bulldogs to score again.


 


Junior Callie Curry’s 3-pointer with 1:25 to play pulled the Braves within 53-51. Curry hit a layup with 48 seconds left to tie the score, and Brebeuf junior Tiffany Byrd and sophomore Lauren Meadows followed with steals.


 


Byrd made 1-of-2 free throws with 34.5 seconds left to put Brebeuf up 54-53, but senior Ivie Obeime missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 20 seconds to go. Bosse’s Kayla Kimbrew missed a jumper with seven seconds left. Brebeuf senior Ta’Shia Phillips rebounded and made the first of two free throws with 4.8 seconds to play. After Phillips’ miss, Bosse managed only a long 3-pointer that sailed over the rim at the buzzer.


 


“It’s because we wanted it,” Curry said of the defensive stands down the stretch. “We think this is our year. We’ve been playing hard, working hard, and we’re not going to give up until we get to the end.”


 


The frenetic finish overshadowed another spectacular performance from Phillips, Brebeuf’s 6-6 post player who had game highs of 30 points and 19 rebounds. That came after Phillips, who Saturday was officially chosen to the McDonald’s All-American Game, had a triple-double last weekend in a regional semifinal.


 
“Right now, it’s just about winning,” said Phillips, who hit 12-of-24 shots and is still weighing collegiate options. “If that means I’ve got to step up, hey, I’ll do that for these girls, and they’re doing the same thing for me.”

SEMISTATE: Clutch Jimtown does it again with 71-62 overtime win over 2A No. 3 Oak Hill, 71-62

By Mark Bradford
Southbendtribune.com


ELKHART – Jimtown put its chances for a historic trip to the girls basketball state finals on the line at North Side Gym here Saturday afternoon in the Class 2A Semistate. Fortunately for the Jimmies, it was the free throw line.

Jimtown, led by an incredible 20-of-21 effort from the line by senior Stephanie Wagner, nailed 38 free throws to earn its first ever trip to Indianapolis with a 71-62 overtime win over third-ranked Oak Hill (24-2). Jimtown 24-2, will play No. 1 and defending state champ Heritage Christian Saturday for the state title. Tipoff is set for approximately 12:30.

Jimtown has made a habit of dodging near collapses in the final minutes of games along the tournament trail, only to escape with a mixture of gutsy play and free throws. Such was the case againWith the Jimmies clinging to a 57-53 lead, Oak Hill’s spectacular freshman guard, Courtney Moses, nailed a 17-footer with five seconds to play in regulation. The shot was originally recorded as a 3-pointer but was changed to a 2-pointer by the alternate official.

That left the Jimmies with a 57-55 edge with four seconds to play. However, Jimtown was unable to inbound the ball and threw a court-long pass to nobody in order to try to run out the clock. Moses quickly recovered the ball, hurried up the floor and scored a layin as time expired to send the contest into overtime.

But Oak Hill already had four players foul out and was at a disadvantage in the overtime.

“We had several players on the floor at the end of the game and overtime who normally would not be in that position,” Oak Hill head coach Todd Law said. “I have never had six players foul out of any game I have ever coached.”

Jimtown head coach Gene Johnson generally uses only seven players and his team’s fitness paid off. Wagner, who scored 28 points, scored uncontested and Melissa Goward (12 points, 10 rebounds) followed with another uncontested bunny to begin overtime and after that, it was “free throw city,” which is exactly where Johnson likes his team to be.

“This is unbelievable,” Johnson said. “What a great effort on the part of our kids. For Oak Hill to come back and tie it right at the buzzer and then for us to come back and take control so quickly in overtime is really indicative of our confidence.

“Stephanie Wagner is money at the free throw line,” Johnson continued. “She didn’t get many open looks during the first half and I was a little concerned about that. But Sarah DeShone stepped up big time for us.”

Jimtown had a spectacular game from DeShone, the daughter of Jimtown boys head coach Randy DeShone. Sarah had a career high 24 points, including four key 3-pointers in the second half.

Jimtown struggled with the Oak Hill press, turning the ball over 20 times and often calling a timeout to avoid the 10-second backcourt violation.

“Oak Hill is very quick,” Johnson said. “We talked all week about their quickness at every position and fortunately we were able to get it into the right people at the right time.”

Moses led Oak Hill with 24 points

SEMISTATE: Wawasee topples 3A No. 1 South Bend St. Joseph’s, 58-46, in northern shocker

By Al Lesar
Southbendtribune.com


ELKHART — Taylor Goshert was amazing for 16 minutes. Sydney Smallbone struggled for 32.

As storylines go, those fortunes made the difference.

Goshert, just a sophomore, scored Wawasee’s first 18 points and finished with 29 to lead the seventh-ranked Warriors (22-3) to a stunning 58-46 Class 3A northern Semistate upset of top-ranked St. Joseph’s (23-3) Saturday.

Wawasee advances to next Saturday’s Class 3A state championship game against  Brebeuf Jesuit at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

“We’re experienced enough to be dangerous, and young enough to be foolish,” Wawasee coach Kem Zolman said of his team. “It’s hard to explain how gritty these kids are. They’ll do goofy things, but you see the grit and determination come through.”

There was plenty of grit and lots of determination. But it was hard to explain exactly what went wrong for the Indians. St. Joe committed 10 of its 20 turnovers in a pivotal first quarter. Smallbone connected on three of 15 shots and scored 11 points.

“We opened the door, gave them a chance and they took it,” St. Joe coach Mike Megyese said with a shrug. “We had too many turnovers at the wrong time. We didn’t make a lot of right decisions.”

Doors got slammed open all afternoon at North Side Gym.

Early in the game, St. Joe led 10-3 and was dictating the tempo. Smallbone, the Indians’ top gun, picked up her second foul with 3:02 to play in the first quarter. That loss of momentum, as Smallbone went to the bench, and Goshert’s moxie turned the tide.

“A game like this, we had nothing to lose,” Goshert said. “My teammates were struggling, so I figured it was up to me to make something happen. I guess they just kind of lost me in our offense.”

Taylor just found the gaps and got to the basket,” Zolman said. “She was there to pick us up when we needed it.”

Goshert not only picked the Warriors up, she lugged them around on her back for two quarters. After trailing by seven, Wawasee ran off 21 straight points — the first 15 came from Goshert. By halftime, the Warriors led by 12 and Goshert had 22 points.

“We’re up 10-3 and we didn’t step up,” Megyese said. “We let Goshert take over the game. She wasn’t doing anything special, she just hit her shots.”


It took Wawasee four minutes into the third quarter to score its first points of the second half, but in that time St. Joe could only cut the deficit to seven.


The start of the fourth quarter was critical. Baskets by St. Joe inside threats Kristen Dockery, who had 14 points, and Becky Newsom got the difference to three, 39-36. A turnover gave the Indians the ball under their own basket.

St. Joe threw away the inbounds pass and Goshert converted a bucket. Another St. Joe turnover and a missed shot allowed Wawasee to stretch the lead back to nine and the Indians never threatened.

“We went through a stretch there where nobody wanted the ball,” Zolman said. “We’ve had that all year. We’ve also recovered from that every time, so I figured we would again.”

“Give the credit to Wawasee, they were the best team today,” Megyese said. “We played as bad as we have all season and we were still in the game. We were able to get the ball inside, better than we thought we could, but we couldn’t finish.”

Wawasee’s Brennan McAdams scored eight of her 10 points in the fourth quarter. St. Joe’s DeBorah Wilson had eight of her 12 points in the first half.

SEMISTATE: 4A No. 2 South Bend Washington survives free throw marathon to down Anderson, advance to second straight state finals, 84-76

By Scott Davidson
Southbendtribune.com


PLYMOUTH – Cheneka Anderson entered semistate play Saturday as the fifth best 3-point shooter, in terms of triples made, for South Bend Washington.

On Saturday, the sweet-shooting senior was as good as a No. 1 3-point option for the second-ranked Panthers.

Anderson did in her namesake with a pair of tide-turning treys to lift Washington past No. 7 Anderson 84-76 in the Class 4A Plymouth Semistate.

Washington, 27-1, will make its second straight trip to the State Finals next Saturday. The Panthers, runner-up in 2006, face No. 9 Columbus East (24-2) at approximately 8 p.m. at Conseco Fieldhouse. Columbus East topped Center Grove 71-69 in the southern semistate Saturday.

The Panthers got 26 points from Skylar Diggins and 19 from Emily Phillips to survive a free throw shooting contest. The teams combined for 96 free throws in the two-hour plus game, with Washington hitting 28 of 49 and the Indians netting 30 of 47. A total of six players fouled out, including starters Diggins, Phillips and Katie Boocher for Washington. The Panthers were 10-22 from the line and Anderson 13-21 in the fourth quarter alone.

But in the end, it was eight huge points by Anderson late in the third quarter that put the Panthers in control. The senior, who entered the game 7-for-17 on treys, drained a pair of triples as Washington won its 27th straight game.

“I just knew it was crunch time and I knew I had to make them,” said Anderson, who tallied 11 points. “It feels good. I’m proud of our team.”

Anderson‘s heroics came at the perfect time. The Indians had pulled within 47-43 late in the third period before Anderson‘s first trey. Then, after the Indians had pulled within 51-49, she sparked a 7-2 run to end the quarter, capping it with a baseline trey with nine seconds left to make it 58-51.

“Cheneka always seems to make the threes when we need them,” said Washington coach Marilyn Coddens. “She doesn’t shoot many of them, but she has confidence to make them. Those were big shots.”

The Panthers built their lead to 73-58 with 4:09 to play in the final period. Diggins scored nine in the final period and Phillips eight, including two dagger-like triples of her own, to spark the winners. Anderson fought back, pulling within 78-71 with 1:13 to play, but Washington hit enough free throws to end it.

Washington led 16-9 after the opening period and 34-27 at halftime. The Indians shot just 7-24 from the field, had 19 turnovers and leading scorer De’Ja Wills sat most of the second period in foul trouble.

“Cheneka stepped up and rose to the occasion,” said Diggins. “It was her night.”

Anderson, which also had three players foul out, hurt itself with a poor shooting game (23-58) and 29 turnovers. The Indians, who had 111 3-pointers on the season, also did not make a trey.

Junior Lakeisha Noethtich led Anderson with 22 points. Senior Makeba Head scored 17 and Wills, who will play at Eastern Michigan, added 15.

“A couple possessions and it’s a different game,” said Anderson coach Chad Wetz. “The key was that we missed a lot of close shots in the first half.

“Having Wills in foul trouble on a couple of questionable calls made a huge difference in our ability to score. Those threes they hit were daggers. To their credit, they made them. If they miss, it’s a different game.”

SEMISTATE: Ross’ 37 points helps propel No. 9 Columbus East to 71-69 victory as clock strikes midnight on Cinderella Center Grove

SOUTHPORT
â??? Columbus East had waited 27 years since its last state championship
appearance. The Olympians waited an extra 20 minutes during a delay
when the lights went out. With the clock winding down, Shelby Ross made
sure East would wait no longer.

 

Ross
launched a jumper just milliseconds before the buzzer that landed as
No. 9 East avoided overtime and defeated Center Grove, 71-69 in an
emotionally charged semistate championship. East advances to play No. 2
South Bend Washington in the state finals Mar. 3.

 

The
last-second victory was just the most recent in a long line of close
calls for the Olympians. All of Eastâ??s tournament games have either
been decided by two points or less in regulation or gone into overtime.

 

â??Experience
helps and we gained experience quickly,� East coach Danny Brown said.
â??They just have a no-die attitude and theyâ??re an amazing group.â?

 

Rossâ??
gamewinner culminated an exciting final quarter that saw Center Grove
tie the game twice in the final two minutes but never take the lead.

After suffering an ankle sprain in the regional final victory over Jeffersonville,
Ross didnâ??t practice until Thursday of this week. Brown said that he
and his staff were not entirely sure that the Louisville-bound senior
would even be able to play.

 

Not only did Ross play, she scored 37 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter.

 

â??We
think sheâ??s a Miss Basketball candidate,â? Brown said. â??I think she
proved today that sheâ??s at least in the top two or three in the state
of Indiana.�

 

Foul
trouble plagued the Trojans for much of the second half. Bowling picked
up her fourth foul with 1:11 on the clock in the third quarter and sat
out some of the fourth. Forward Alex Dewitz, who scored a team high 25
points, fouled out with 4:19 left in the game.

 

â??She
meant an awful lot, as sheâ??s meant an awful lot every game in this
tournament run,â? Center Grove coach Joe Lentz said of Dewitz. â??When she
wants to play, she can flat out play. She was a huge factor for us.�

Center
Grove jumped out to a quick 14-10 lead, but East scored nine straight
to close out the quarter. The Olympians continued that streak, scoring
the first six points of the second period for a 15-0 run.

 

After a fast-paced and physical first half, East led 42-31.

 

The
lead grew to 13 following a basket on the drive by Ross before Center
Grove responded. The Trojans went on a 16-2 run, taking the lead on a
three from Dewitz.
 

Center
Groveâ??s momentum was not hampered by a 20 minute break in action. After
Dewitz hit the first of two foul shots, some of the fieldhouse lights
went out. The delay lasted so long that each team returned to the
locker rooms and were given three minutes to warm-up before play
resumed.


Ross
answered with a mid-range jumper to reclaim the lead before Dewitz sank
a pair of free throws to put Center Grove on top again. 


Ross,
who was the only Olympian to hit a field goal in the second half, hit a
three with 23 seconds remaining in the quarter. East never trailed
again.

 

With
2:25 left in the game, Center Groveâ??s Heidi Reisinger scored on a drive
to bring the Trojans within two. Reisinger left the game twice, once
after turning her ankle and another time after being hit in the face,
but returned each time to contribute.

 

With
the game knotted at 64, East nailed four free throws for a four-point
cushion. Backup point guard Gina Phillips knocked down a three to pull
the Trojans within one with 24.5 seconds on the clock.

 

Three seconds later, Phillips was whistled for a touch foul on Ross.

 

â??In
any game like that, you can always talk about a foul here or a foul
there,â? Lentz said. â??If it would have been reversed then they could
talk about a call here or a call there. Thatâ??s just the way it happens
in a close game.�

 

A
jump shot from Bowling tied the game with ten seconds left. Ross
temporarily lost control of the ball before firing up a shot from the
right wing that hit nothing but net.

 

The
loss ends Center Groveâ??s magic carpet ride of a postseason. The
Trojans, who finished fifth in the Metropolitan Conference regular
season, upset No. 8 Ben Davis and No. 1 Hamilton Southeastern in the
regional to reach the semistate.

 

â??Iâ??m disappointed but Iâ??m not disappointed in our kids at all,â? Lentz said.

Top-ranked Evansville Mater Dei notched its 12th overall wrestling state championship and second in a row Feb. 24 with a 31-18 defeat of second-ranked Mishawaka at Center Grove High School in Greenwood.
 
It was the 12th
overall state championship for Mater Dei, all of which have come under
the guidance of Mike Goebel. Goebel holds the record for the most
state titles in state history. Last year, Goebel broke the record
he previously shared with Harold F. Mumby of Bloomington High School, who won 10 titles from 1924 to 1945.
 
The Wildcats (25-0) cruised past Avon in the first round, 65-3, and were the beneficiary of falls by juniors Cody Moll, Alex Weinzapfel, and Drew Lappe to defeat fourth-ranked Indianapolis Cathedral in the semifinals, 39-20.
 
With the championship round beginning with the 160-pound class, Mater Dei reserve Stephan Lovelace pinned Kurt Caufmann, last weekâ??s fifth-place finisher at the individual state finals,
to give the Wildcats a quick 6-0 lead. The closest Mishawaka could
get was 15-12 with a 3-1 overtime victory by 119-pound senior Nick Wiesjahn, but Mater Dei answered with a pin by 125-pound sophomore Zeke Zenthoefer to extend the lead to 21-12. 
 
Mater Deiâ??s 145-pound senior, Nick Dewig, sealed the state title with a 13-5 major decision in the next-to-last match of the evening. Dewig, the 145-pound individual state runner-up, finished the season with a record of 48-1.
 
It was the second runner-up finish for Mishawaka (29-1), which also lost to Mater Dei in 2000.

SEMISTATE: 2A No. 1 Heritage Christian advances to state finals with 55-39 beating of Mitchell

SOUTHPORT
â??? As is her usual tradition, Heritage Christian forward Kelly Faris
came to life in the second half. The 5â??11â? sophomore scored ten of her
12 points in the third quarter and made a multitude of defensive plays
to disrupt the Mitchell offense.

 

That
spark was enough to allow the Eagles to pull away as Heritage Christian
routed Mitchell, 55-39, to advance to the state finals. The Eagles will
make their third championship game appearance in the last four years.

 

â??No
matter whether itâ??s halftime, a time out or a quarter, somebody has to
step up no matter who it is,â? Faris said. â??With our team, a good run
gets our momentum going and gets us excited.�

 

Heritage
Christian shot 23-of-40 from the floor, including a red-hot 8-of-9 in
the third quarter when the only miss was on a play where forward Emily
Anderson was fouled. Mitchell hit just 14-of-48 from the field,
negating a 13-8 edge on the offensive glass. The Bluejackets
continuously had second and third opportunities but could not convert
them time after time.

 

Anderson
led the Eagles with 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Faris added 12
points and ten rebounds while connecting on six of her eight attempts.

 

â??Weâ??ve
been doing that all year long where we had different girls who can step
up,â? Heritage Christian coach Rick Risinger said. â??At different times,
weâ??ll do different things. Itâ??s nice to be able to have any of the
girls step up and do well.�

Mitchell
got the first score of the game on an lay-up from Amanda Trambaugh, who
led the Jackets with 15 points. Heritage Christian, scored the next ten
and the Eagles led 12-4 after one quarter.

 

Down
16-6 with 5:45 remaining in the first half, Mitchell got a three from
point guard Jordan Wilson and another open lay-up from Trambaugh to cut
the deficit in half. Following a timeout, however, Heritage Christian
answered with a 10-1 run to open its lead up to 14.

 

Mitchell scored the next six points and trailed 26-18 at halftime, but the Jackets never got within striking distance again.

 

Faris
and Anderson were huge in the third quarter, combining for 15 of the
Eaglesâ?? 18 points in the period. Mitchellâ??s Natalie Morse hit a three
right before time expired, but Heritage Christian still led by 16,
44-28, heading into the fourth quarter.

 

The teams played pretty even until the end of the game when they each cleared their benches.

 

Heritage
Christian, the defending 2A state champion, will face Jimtown in the
state finals Mar. 3 at Conseco Fieldhouse. Jimtown advanced by downing
Oak Hill in overtime at Elkhart.

 

â??Whoever
comes out of the north will be strong. They didnâ??t get to the state
championship because they were a weak team,â? Risinger said. â??Weâ??re
trying to peak at the right time which I think we are.�
