CJ girls win district title in double overtime
MASON — The Chaminade Julienne girls basketball tram trailed for most of the game and had serious trouble gaining momentum.
But, after facing ties of 44-44 at the end of regulation and 48-48 after the first overtime, the Eagles made 6-of-8 free throws in the second overtime and held off Kenton Ridge 56-51 in a Division II district final on Friday, March 5, at Mason Middle School.
CJ’s Samarie Walker finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Eagles into Tuesday’s regional semifinal against the winner of Columbus St. Francis DeSales and Hilliard Bradley (who play at 8:45 p.m. Friday) at Springfield High School.
To get there, CJ had to scrap out a win to improve to 18-5 as the No. 8-ranked team in the AP state poll.
An Emily Michael 3-pointer with 2:54 left in the game gave the Eagles a 43-42 lead, their first since leading 17-16 in the second quarter. They then made just 1-of-8 free throws in the final 2:08 of regulation as the game went into overtime.
CJ found some daylight in the second overtime and held off Kenton Ridge (19-5) with the strong final-period free-throw performance.
“We talked a lot before and after the game about poise,” said CJ coach Duane Williams, in his first year heading the Eagles. “There were times we didn’t do great, but we did it enough.”
Michael chipped in 14 points and six rebounds, while two little-used freshmen, Ja’Cole Tabor and Krista White, provided a late energy boost to help the lagging Eagles.
