Daily Tournament Fix — March 4
Here’s your daily tournament fix for Wednesday, March 4:
Tonight’s boys games: Division I — Springfield vs. Butler, 7 p.m., at UD Arena; Division II — Shawnee vs. Tippecanoe, 6 p.m., and Kenton Ridge vs. Bellefontaine, 7:30 p.m., at Troy High School.
Short Takes: Springfield is 7-13 this season. They didn’t play Butler (6-14) in the regular season. Akeem Freeman averages 13.7 ppg, while Zack Burks is scoring 12.1 ppg. … KR, Bellefontaine, Tippecanoe and Shawnee all play in the CBC Kenton Trail Division. … KR (17-3) swept the season series against Bellefontaine by a combined total of four points. … Shawnee and Tipp split their series, each grabbing wins on the road. On Dec. 27, Shawnee (15-5) beat Tipp 40-39, but the Red Devils beat Shawnee 68-45 on Feb. 16.
Key player: Justin Williams, Shawnee. The Braves senior forward leads the CBC Kenton Trail in scoring at 16.1 ppg. Williams, an athletic player who can score both in the paint and from the perimeter, will have to be at his best against a strong Tipp squad who beat the Braves in their last meeting just a few weeks ago.
Yesterday’s results: Mechanicsburg’s Kyle Bossetti hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Indians past Jackson Center. Yellow Springs led 30-13 at the half, but held on to beat Bethel. They’ll play D-IV fifth-ranked Southeastern, a big winner over Miami Valley, in a sectional final at 8 p.m. Friday at Vandalia Butler.
Live blogs: We’ll be live-blogging all three tournament games tonight, including Springfield, KR and Shawnee.
