Lexington Catholic was led tonight by Demetrius Green who scored a career high 30 points and pulled down 7 rebounds.  Brendon Woody added 19 points and Ryan Morton contributed 14 points and 9 rebounds.  East Jessamine was led by Butch Jointer with 19 points and 13 rebounds.  5-10 Sr. Josh Reho came off the bench to add 15 points, including three three-pointers.  Lexington Catholic was clicking on all cylinders tonight and Coach Haney has them starting to peak at the right time, which is fortunate because they still have to play Male and Scott County.  Coach O’Bryan has a nice team in East Jessamine with a good starting rotation and a deep bench.  Tonight was not their night but they are very capable and could make a good showing in the upcoming tournaments.
