I'll post some periodic updates here as well.
Quarter 1
Starting for North Park: #22 Cale McDonald, #23 Marcus Hamilton, #32 Mark Dickens, #42 Dave Eves, and #44 Mike Dulmage.
-Tip to North Park. St. Theresa's starts in a 2-3 zone.
-A couple misses early. North Park has also settled into a 2-3 on defense.
-The Trojans have taken control early by cashing a couple three-pointers early, 6-0 4:00 into the game.
-North Park hits a layup by fast breaking off a made free throw and lead 8-4 with 2:00 left in the first.
-North Park leads 10-6 with just over 1:00 left in the first, but they are starting to get in some foul trouble. Another foul and 2 St. Theresa's FTs make it 10-8.
-HUGE fall-away three at the buzzer for the Trojans! 13-8 NP after one. Cale McDonald leads North Park with 6 points, while Marcus Hamilton has 3 after one. A couple Trojans are in trouble, including starting centre Mike Dulmage with 2.
-ANOTHER three by McDonald is cause for a Thunder timeout (16-10, 6:51 left 2Q). I think they have got to be considering coming out of their zone now.
(Off to grab some lunch....be back soon!)
-Looks like St. Theresa's went on a big 12-2 run to close the half, and lead 22-18 at the break. Cale McDonald leads NP with 9 points, while Brandon Slote has 7 for the Thunder. Note: OFSAA website is incorrectly showing 22-18 North Park score, I'm getting this directly from the scoreboard.
Third Quarter
-Quick three by St. Theresa's off the bat increases the lead to 25-18.
-27-20 St. Theresa's with 5:15 left.
-A quick 6-0 run by North Park has them down one (27-26), with 3:20 left in the third.
-The Trojans lead, 29-28 after three quarters. McDonald has 13 of their points.
Fourth Quarter
-35-30 North Park, technical foul on Dave Eves after he scored a NPC basket gives the Thunder two FTs and they cut it to 35-32 with 5:40 left.
-Still 35-32 with just over 4:00 to play, North Park has switched to man-to-man defensively.....
-Shooting foul on St. T's and 1-of-2 for NPC give them the two-possession advantage (36-32) now with under 4:00 to play.
-Some more free-throws for both sides and it's 38-33 North Park with 3:00 to play.
-The Trojans are coming closer to closing this one out ---- now lead 40-33 with 2:15 left.
-Ouch. A 5-second call on NPC with them up 7 gives the ball to St. T's, who get an "and one" to cut the lead to 40-36.
-Full court pressure causes a turnover, St. T's has the three but missed it.....and foul NPC on the rebound. 40-36 with 1:47 left.
-Things getting a little shaky late ---- still 40-36 with 1:15 left, St. T's in possession after a jump ball.
-An AND ONE by St. T's has them down 40-39 with 41.7 left, NPC back to the line ---- where they make 2 to lead 42-39. 36.1 seconds left.
-North Park gets a huge steal and Mark Dickens is fouled with 19.9 left. Makes 1-of-2 but NPC secures the offensive board and makes 2 more FTs to lead 45-39 with 15 seconds left. This one looks to be over....
-Another FT at the end makes the final North Park 46, St. Theresa's 39.
-Looks like #10 Frontenac held off #4 Jarvis CI by 3 (39-36). So it actually doesn't get easier for NPC --- they'll take on Jarvis tomorrow.
