Playoffs

North Preplayoffs At Judge Ryan 54, North 51 Joe Simko and Bill Guthrie (five blocks) scored 11 points apiece and sub Joe

Sinni had three assists and five steals while sparking a rally that saw Ryan scored 26 of

the final 34 points. Matt Comey led North with 21 points. At Judge Ryan 54, Kenrick 51 Kenrick’s David Neeld scored 10 fourth-quarter points, but missed three

foul shots with 0:02 left after being wacked while attempting a tying three. Five-two

Bernie Rogers had 20 points and four assists and passed to Joe Simko for the winning three

with 0:22 left. North Semifinals Dougherty 52, Ryan 47 Cuttino ‘‘Cat’’ Mobley hit three threes en route to 20

points and claimed nine rebounds. He had seven points as the Cardinals turned a 36-33

deficit into a 50-41 lead. Ryan (Joe Simko 19) was playing for the third time in four days

and fifth time in eight days. Judge 79, Wood 60 John McGovern accumulated 18 points and 14 rebounds and Andy Oleykowski,

normally a starter, shot 8-for-11 and 4-for-5 for 20 points. Wood’s Paul Favorite had

18 points, 11 boards. South Semifinals Roman 54, Bonner 52 (ot) At Carroll, Dennis Bohn drove straight down the lane and flipped in a layup

with 0:02 left. The lead was Roman’s first of the game. Bohn had 12 points, six

rebounds and eight assists and Kyle Locke had 20 points. Bonner’s Bill Carr had 19

points, 10 boards. O’Hara 69, West 58 Adonal Foyle, a 6-9 soph, generated 26 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks and

Brian O’Donnell had nine of the Lions’ 20 assists on 24 baskets. Scott Galloway

(25) and Calvin Blackmon (19) led West. Semifinals Doubleheader at the Palestra Dougherty 46, Judge 43 This game had the craziest finish in CL playoff history. With the score tied,

41-41, Dougherty’s Dave Black started a slashing move to the basket and it appeared

he was grabbed by Judge’s Chuck Hiller. A highly controversial intentional foul was

called at 0:09. Black hit two free throws and Cuttino ‘‘Cat’’ Mobley

hit two more after the Cardinals inbounded the ball. At 0:02, Dougherty’s Jerry Ricca

was fouled after rebounding a missed three by Judge’s John McGovern. But Dougherty’s

fans, thinking the game was over, stormed onto the court and the Cards were assessed a

technical foul. Ricca made one free throw and then Judge’s Danny Oldfield made two.

On Judge’s inbound play, Oldfield took a pass from Chris Cervellero and hit the back

part of the rim on a 40-footer. Both teams’ fans then hurled trash at each other

— Dougherty’s from the floor, Judge’s from the stands. Roman 52, O’Hara 50 Seventh man Bill Shank scored five points in the final 0:23 — a

one-and-one, a layup on an outlet pass from 6-9 Marc Jackson (15 points, six blocks) and a

free throw at 0:02 after O’Hara was assessed a technical for calling a timeout it did

not have. For O’Hara, John Watson had 22 points and Adonal Foyle had 12 points, nine

boards, six blocks. FINAL At the Palestra Roman 77, Dougherty 68 Kyle Locke, a 6-6 senior forward, exploded for 39 points — most in CL

playoff history — as the Cahillites won their fourth title in a row. Locke shot

11-for-17 and 17-for-18 and added eight rebounds. James "Flame" Lewis notched 15

points, seven boards and 5-8 Dwayne "Sugar" Hill plucked a game-high 11

rebounds. Dougherty's Cuttino "Cat" Mobley scored 28 points to finish with 42.8

percent of his team's 166 playoff points. The Cards used two sets of twins — starters

Dan and Ed Kearney and subs Shawn and Brian Simkins.
