Lexington Catholic (25-7)  vs.  Madison Central (22-9) (Championship)

 

Lexington Catholic coach Brandon Salsman started the following lineup: 6-5 Sr. Taylor Martin, 6-4 Sr. Scott Schuette, 6-5 Jr. Craig Floyd, 5-10 Jr. Brian Woomer, and 6-0 Sr. Seth Beckham.  Madison Central coach Allen Feldhaus Jr. countered with 6-2 Sr. Nick Ford, 6-0 Sr. Brenton Covington, 6-6 Jr. Hunter Allen, 6-1 Jr. John O’Bryan, and 6-0 So.

Lexington Catholic led 30-22 at halftime on their way to a 59-43 victory over Madison Central.  Lexington Catholic scored 21 points off 18 Madison Central turnovers.  Lexington Catholic attempted 19 more shots (52-33) from the field than Madison Central.  The game was delayed 20-25 minutes in the first quarter due to a bizarre incident.  The Madison Central student section threw baby powder into the air as the game started and unfortunately instead of settling harmlessly into the stands the powder cloud drifted onto the floor making the surface slippery and potentially dangerous.  The referees made the correct call stopping the game at the 2:47 mark in the first quarter and the floor was cleaned before action resumed.

 

Lexington Catholic shot 46.2% from the field including four of 22 from the three point line.  The Knights connected on seven of 11 free throws and pulled down 28 rebounds.  Madison Central shot 45.5% from the field including two of six from beyond the arc.  The Indians connected on 11 of 16 free throws, pulled down 23 rebounds, and scored nine points off seven Lexington Catholic turnovers.
