City Titles

AA (At Northeast) Imhotep 51, W. Catholic 42: In something of a snoozer -- Imhotep

was still reeling from an exhausting march to a second straight Pub crown; West

hadn't played in 2 1/2 weeks -- sixth man Bakari White hit two treys while

scoring eight of his 10 points in the fourth quarter and prevented Aquil Younger

(22 points, five threes, four assists) from causing late damage. Junior Erik

Copes, already committed to George Washington, shot 6-for-6 (two dunks) for 12

points while adding seven boards and four blocks. Tyhiem "Redz" Perrin had 10

points, six rebounds. West's Kiwan Murray managed eight/six. AAA (At Lincoln) Neumann-Goretti 75, Dobbins 44: Playing without Wake Forest signee

Tony Chennault (ejected from CL final), the Saints marched nevertheless as Lamin

Fulton, the lone junior starter, popped in a season 25 points and drained three

quick treys to help N-G zoom away from a 10-10 tie. Tyreek Duren (La Salle) was

a whirlwind with 19 points, eight assists, six steals. Danny Stewart (Rider)

added 14 points, 15 rebounds, five steals and six blocks. Dobbins' Jerrell

Wright packed 20 of his 23 points into the first half. He also grabbed 15

rebounds. The other Mustangs shot 7-for-33. Played on Friday night, this was the

first postseason game in Lincoln's bright as Broadway new gym. AAAA (At Lincoln) La Salle 42, Bartram 40: Troy Hockaday scored 15 points and, as

part of a box-and-one, helped to hold Virginia Tech-bound Tyrone Garland, at

that point the No. 3 career scorer in city history (2,184), to eight as the

Explorers won a hoops CT for the first time since a Tom Gola-led team did so in

1950. With Hockaday defending, Garland missed a late trey and Joe Brown (nine

rebounds) added a free throw at 1.1. Steve Collins shot 4-for-7 and 4-for-4 for

12 points. Bartram's leaders were Quasim Jones in points (12), and Darrell Lane

(10) and Devin Moore (nine) in rebounds. The Braves were missing two starters

due to assorted issues.

Public League

FIRST ROUND Class AAAA Quarterfinals Frankford 78, King 58: Carl Wallace totaled 17 points along with six

apiece of rebounds/assists. Terrell Clark added 12 points and seven boards while

the Poole cousins, Steffon and Darryl, halved 24 points. Mike Wilson (16) led

King. Germantown 58, Southern 46: Dominique "Diddi" Twiggs (14), Ramadan

Abdullah (13) and Eddie Callender (12) -- football players all -- scored in

double figures. Twiggs (11) and Callender (10), receivers for QB Abdullah, led

the rebounders while Kamani Jordan dished 10 assists. Only Haywood Henderson

(13) reached double digits for the Rams. Bartram 75, Olney 72: On the Braves' final possession, Tyrone Garland

(33; late in regular season became the city's fifth 2,000-point career scorer)

momentarily lost possession while penetrating, then fed Quasim Jones for the

game-winning corner trey. Six of Jones' seven assists came after halftime.

Zaahir Allen scored 13 points while Devin Moore snagged eight boards. Ray Jaggon

(28) and Jabreil "Brilly Mac" McLeod (20) scored heavily for Olney. Univ. City 63, Central 49: Micah Peeler scored 11 of his 14 points in a

23-13 fourth quarter. Nasir Mitchell also tallied 14 points while Michael

Clemmons (13) and Martez Lyles (eight) paced the rebounders. Central's Mark

Sanders notched 15 points. Class AAA Quarterfinals Gratz 86, Roxborough 57: Antoine "Ness" Bland shot 10-for-12 from

the floor for 23 points while adding 10 boards. Major scoring help came from

Tyree Smith (21). Rashawn Anderson (15) and Kalik Stanley (13) led Roxborough. West Phila. 46, Eng. and Science 36: Terrell "Sleepy" Daye totaled 16

points and eight rebounds as the Speedboys captured a win in something beyond a

prelim playoff for the first time since '97. E&S' Mark "Stretch" Houston battled

for 14 points, 12 boards, seven punch-backs. Phila. Electrical 59, FitzSimons 58 (OT): Carrington Ward (14) hit a

late jumper to win it. Kyle Baldwin also scored 14 points while mixing in 17

rebounds, four steals. David George had nine rebounds, seven blocks. Jaleel Bond

(18), Nature "Nate" Boyer and football QB Richard Williams (15 apiece) topped

Fitz. Dobbins 48, Franklin LC 46: Jerrell Wright powered for 18 points, 20

rebounds and seven blocks, and Fred Jones' two late free throws provided a

three-point lead. Turhan Griffin (18) paced FLC, which missed the front end of a

one-and-one at 0:00 after the final buzzer failed to sound during a drive and

the refs reached a put-the-guy-on-the-line compromise. Class AA Quarterfinals Straw. Mansion 74, Freire 44: Recent Marquette commit Devonte' "DJ"

Newbill raised his career total to 2,011 with a 24-point effort. Eric Jefferson

had eight rebounds, five blocks. Malik Wesley (17) led Freire. Franklin 67, Vaux 63 (2 OTs): These North Philly rivals got after it,

but good. Kenny Bey-Brown and Bahir Lacy (six in the second OT) scored 17 points

apiece for the Electrons while three of Shawn Penn's 15 helped to get them

beyond regulation. Four Cougars, led by frosh Rysheed Jordan (17), hit double

digits. Imhotep 68, Del-Val 58: Ameen Tanksley and David Appolon halved 38

points and each scored well -- nine and seven, respectively -- in a clinching

fourth quarter. Junior Erik Copes, already committed to George Washington,

logged 11 boards, three blocks. Rysheen Dorn struck for 27 D-V points. Prep Charter 58, Comm. Tech 57: Following monumental amounts of snow,

with 91 total games still unplayed, the Pub honchos came close to canceling the

rest of the regular season and freezing the standings. If that had happened, PC

would not have made the playoffs. In this one, as the seventh seed, they shocked

the No. 2 Phoenix on a James Cole tip-in with 0:04 remaining. Class A Quarterfinals Math/Civics/Sciences 70, World Comm. 60: Kwahmere Gredic totaled 20

points and five assists for the Mighty Elephants, who rolled to a 35-17 halftime

pad. Help came from Andre Thomas (12, 10 rebounds) and Chris Stokes (10, began

the season playing for Prep Charter). Markeith Mont (22) was best for WC. New Media 75, Robeson 69: NM fell into a 31-13 crevice, but stormed to

victory thanks to a 30-16 fourth quarter. Rasheed Wilkins (21 points) shot

10-for-12 at the line in that session (and 12-for-14 overall) while adding three

assists and six apiece of rebounds/steals for the game. Isiah Clark (15) and

Bryton Hawthorne (14) helped out. For Robeson, Marquise Richards rang up 17

points and Andre Washington had 13 points, 19 boards. Jay Harris' 10 points

froze his career total at 978. Constitution 95, Randolph 62: Erik Raleigh erupted for 15 points, 20

rebounds and 10 blocks while Abdul King and Shaun Levine (six treys) halved 44

points. For Randolph, which got into the playoffs thanks to a city record three

forfeit wins, Amir Stringfield posted 25 points. Boys' Latin 77, Palumbo 37: Honored beforehand for recently having

become just the second sophomore (also Strawberry Mansion's Maureece Rice) in

city history to reach 1,000 career points, Maurice Watson Jr., son of the coach,

added 19 more. All 11 of Isaiah Gans' points came in a 42-21 first half.

Palumbo's Anthony Wallace scored 12 points. Devin Uqdah claimed 10 boards.

ROUND OF 16 Class AAAA Semifinals Frankford 62, Germantown 55: Steffon Poole saved 14 of his 22

points for a 42-29 second half, Carl Wallace posted 10 points and seven steals

and Rodney Walters went 4-for-4 at the line in the fourth quarter. Eddie

Callender and Kamani Jordan scored 15 points apiece for Germantown. Bartram 78, Univ. City 61: Tyrone Garland scrapped for 27 points (three

treys) and five apiece of rebounds/assists. Zaahir Allen (17), Devin Moore (14)

and Quasim Jones (12) also scored in double figures while Allen (six) and Jones

(five) also peppered the assist column. Class AAA Semifinals Gratz 63, West Phila. 53: Andrew Moye (16) and Bruce Hanner (13)

paced the scoring; Antoine "Ness" Bland (11) and Tyree Smith (10) owned the

boards. Raymond "Meatball" Nesbitt (15) and Terrell "Sleepy" Daye (14) topped

West in scoring and cool nicknames. Dobbins 78, Phila. Electrical 65: This one dragged on and on and on for

2 hours, 2 minutes, as the teams combined to shoot 87 free throws in all, with

56 in the last quarter. Dobbins went 17-for-36 at the line in that session and

wasn't made to pay for the inaccuracy. Jerrell Wright finished with 24, 18

rebounds and nine blocks. Soph Walter Lawrence posted 25 points and nine steals

while classmate Courtland Gilliam had 13 points. Carrington Ward led PE with 23

points. In all, Dobbins went 25-for-51 at the line to PE's 24-for-36. Class AA Semifinals Imhotep 53, Prep Charter 49: Tyhiem "Redz" Perrin collected 12

points and 11 boards and his two free throws at 0:15 provided a 51-46 lead.

Ameen Tanksley added 17 points and Terrell Johnson made four steals. Mark Wilmer

(14) led the Huskies. Franklin 63, Straw. Mansion 60: After losing volunteer coach Stan Laws,

who'd been directing day-to-day operations all season, in the aftermath of a

disagreement with principal Lois Powell Mondesire, the 23-0 Knights suffered a

stunning defeat on their home floor. Franklin's Jeff Giddings scored 12 of his

20 points in a 26-19 fourth quarter. Mansion's Devonte' "DJ" Newbill managed 21

points. Class A Semifinals Constitution 61, Boys' Latin 55: Erik Raleigh powered for 13

points, 18 boards and five blocks. Abdul King added nine points and 15 rebounds.

BL's Yamir Greenlee scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half and soph

Maurice Watson finalized his half-a-career point total at 1,069. Math/Civics/Sciences 69, New Media 61: This one took place in two

parts. A leaky window, part of a sloping roof, at the former Berean Institute,

19th and Girard, halted Day One proceedings with 7:54 left in the fourth quarter

and MC&S on top, 63-48. Before 42 spectators and MC&S' cheerleaders, play

resumed at 1:30 (the refs were scheduled to work girls' games elsewhere at 3:15)

as NM's Bryton Hawthorne hit the first of two free throws. The Jaguars got as

close as six points. Andre Thomas scored four of his 15 points in Part Two.

Chris Stokes (five treys) packed all 19 of his into Part One. NM's Isiah Clark

scored 21 total points and had four steals in the fourth quarter. Hawthorne also

launched the last shot, missing a three.

QUARTERFINALS Class AAAA Final (At Franklin) Bartram 89, Frankford 87: Mike Burton-Young, a 5-5 junior who did

not see action until franchise guard Tyrone Garland fouled out with 2:38 left in

the first OT, finished with nine points, two assists and one steal. Darrell

Robinson, the seventh man, added four points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

Regulation ended at 61-61. Bartram rallied from a five-point deficit in the

first OT and Frankford came back from four in the second. Only four total points

were tallied in the third. Burton-Young went 4-for-4 at the line in the fourth

extra session. After missing two free throws at 5.4, Robinson grabbed his own

rebound and headed .8. This time he made one and Devin

Moore intercepted Frankford's final inbound pass. Garland scored 18 points.

Zaahir Allen totaled 20 points, 11 rebounds. Dehaven Brown (20), Terrell Clark

(18, 15 rebounds) and Carl Wallace (17) led Frankford, which shot 29-for-88 and

21-for-38 to Bartram's 29-for-73, 24-for-36. Class AAA Final (At Franklin) Dobbins 58, Gratz 57 (OT): In the first game of a doubleheader,

Jerrell Wright powered for 21 points, 16 rebounds and eight blocks as the

Mustangs, despite committing 28 turnovers, going 12-for-27 at the line and

coughing off a 48-41 lead over the last 2:06 of regulation, advanced to a final

for the first time since 1987. Basir Fulmore added 11 points and four steals.

After missing his first four free throws, most badly, soph Walter Lawrence hit

one at 16.1 to force OT. In OT, a three by Fred Jones and Fulmore's hard drive

provided a five-point lead. Gratz rallied and the second of two treys by Tyree

Smith (21 points, 10 rebounds) made it 58-57 at 4.2. Dobbins' Khalil Curtis

missed two free throws at 2.2, rebounder Antoine "Ness" Bland (15 points, 17

boards) called time at 1.7 and Andrew Moye missed a falling-out-of-bounds trey

at the buzzer. Sub Kiari Saulsbury sparked Gratz with nine points, six steals.

In OT, no one noticed that the clock operator put 5:00 on the scoreboard rather

than 4:00. At 3:01, the remaining time was reduced to 2:01. Class AA Final (At Southern) Imhotep 65, Franklin 45: David Appolon was electric with 23 points,

six assists and seven steals while Ameen Tanksley, Tyhiem "Redz" Perrin (12

apiece) and Erik Copes (eight) paced a 40-16 advantage on the glass. Tanksley

(14) and Copes (10) also reached double figures in points. Kenny Bey-Brown (19)

was the only Electron to surpass 10 points. Class A Final (At Southern) Math/Civics/Sciences 85, Constitution 74: Thomas Moore it up the

first game of a doubleheader by nailing five treys en route to 25 points. He

also collected four steals and five apiece of rebounds/assists. Kwahmere Gredic

hustled for 21 points and six feeds. Marvin Champ (18, five assists), Abdul King

(17, eight rebounds) and Erik Raleigh (14, 16 boards, seven blocks) were

productive for the Generals. The teams halved 62 points in the fourth quarter.

SEMIFINALS (Doubleheader at Southern) Imhotep 66, Math/Civics/Sciences 52: Due to the earlier snow miseries, the

semis were played the day after the quarters. Ameen Tanksley cruised for 26

points and 12 rebounds as the Panthers mostly coasted. Co-star David Appolon

didn't score until 4:35 remained in the third quarter, then finished with 15

points. Erik Copes (cut under eye) and Tyhiem “Redz” Perrin (banged-up hand)

halved 14 rebounds despite missing some time. For MC&S, Thomas Moore (25 in

quarterfinal) failed to score until just after Appolon managed to do so and

Kwahmere Gredic wound up leading the way with 15 points. Bartram 75, Dobbins 63: Dijon Wright shot 4-for-5 for eight points,

grabbed six rebounds, prevented Dobbins star Jerrell Wright from wreaking major

havoc (14, 11) and provided great entertainment on a foul-line visit by smashing

one shot directly off the left side of the glass, then airballing the next. "I

hope they burn it," he said, speaking of a tape anyone might have had. Tyrone

Garland hit three treys and went 8-for-9 at the line for 23 points while adding

four assists, five steals. Zaahir Allen added 18 points and Quasim Jones (14)

was 8-for-8 at the line. Basir Fulmore (21) topped Dobbins. There was no

late-game drama. People began departing with 2:17 left.

FINAL (At Temple's Liacouras Center) Imhotep 58, Bartram 46: Completing a three-playoffs-in-four-days

run, the Panthers became the first Pub team to capture back-to-back

championships since Franklin in 1998-99. Ameen Tanksley won game MVP honors with

14 points while Erik Copes controlled the inside with 13 rebounds, seven blocks.

Five others scored from six to nine points and 17 markers were provided by subs

(Bakari White nine, Earl Brown eight). Scoring-wise, only guard Tyrone Garland

(32 points, six treys) made an appearance for the Braves. The others combined to

go 5-for-37 from the floor. 27 points and

drained a fourth trey with 0:15 left to win it. He had 12 points over the final

12 minutes and 10 boards total. Drexel signee Shannon Givens topped Fels with 25

points.

FIRST ROUND (Home Sites) N. Catholic 66, Judge 64: In the Falcons' final game in their famous Pit,

Bobby Makor beat the buzzer (maybe, there was MAJOR doubt) with a mid-range,

right-wing jumper that was finally ruled good by referee L.B. Rebstock

three-plus seconds after the ball passed through the net. Makor notched 18

points, five rebounds and two steals. This was not his family's first brush with

a "final" NC sporting event. His sophomore brother, Michael, was a starting

lineman for the grid squad, which topped Frankford in its finale, played at La

Salle University. Star linebacker David D. Williams grabbed this one's final

rebound after Judge's Nick Sullivan hit one of two free throws at 36.3. Six-nine

junior Seamus Radtke led Judge with 17 points, seven rebounds, six blocks. Joe

Kehoe (16) hit three of his four threes in the fourth quarter. SJ Prep 57, Bonner 45: Joe Nardi's 23-point outing was highlighted by

five treys. Steve Vasturia and Connor McIntyre halved 18 points and the former

added nine rebounds. Jamal Melvin (16) and Keefer Francis (12) topped visiting

Bonner. Wood 55, W. Catholic 46: Brian O'Grady powered for 18 points and 15

rebounds and Joe Getz mixed 10 points, seven assists. Aquil Younger (21) was the

only visiting player in double figures. Dougherty 64, Conwell-Egan 53: In a game that could have been their

finale, the visiting Cardinals placed three guys in double figures -- Brandyn

Wims (12), Brandon Brown (11), Ryan Colbert (10) -- and three more scored at

least eight. Brown posted nine markers in a 29-16 first half. Ike Robinson led

C-E with 15 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks. Shortly before gametime, coach

Rick Sabol was informed by an administrator that one of his key players would be

unavailable (school issue).

QUARTERFINALS (Doubleheader at Ryan) Carroll 61, Wood 40: Ben Mingledough (17) and DJ Irving (15) paced the

scoring while Juan'ya Green (eight) and Irving (four) helped the Patriots post

15 assists. Wood, which received 17 points from Joe Getz and 11 points/12

rebounds from Brian O'Grady, missed its first 10 shots of the third quarter and

wound up being outscored, 12-2. La Salle 54, N. Catholic 43: Shooting jumpers lefthanded and layups

righthanded, Joe Brown went 6-for-8 en route to 15 points while also claiming a

game-high 10 rebounds. He posted three of his field goals in a 17-11 fourth

quarter. Troy Hockaday added 15 points. In what everyone feared was North's

final game (the archdiocese is closing it come June), Mike Terry collected 16

points and the smallest Falcon, Woody Redding, scored his team's last points on

a follow with 1:13 left. Sub Kerry Shields missed the last shot. (Doubleheader at Carroll) Neumann-Goretti 89, Dougherty 58: The Saints sniped 10-for-15 on

treys and Tony Chennault (24) led four double-figure scorers. Mustafaa Jones

(16) went deep four times, Danny Stewart totaled 15 points, 14 rebounds, four

blocks, and Tyreek Duren mixed 15 points with four assists. Brandyn Wims (16,

seven assists) and Jamal Nwaniemeka (14) led Dougherty in the school's final

game. The Cardinals' final points came on a trey by point guard Dawan Earle with

0:59 showing. SJ Prep 42, Roman 41: After getting burned along the left baseline by

sub guard Daiquan Walker for a layup, with 11 seconds remaining, that gave Roman

a 41-39 lead, Joe Nardi took a pass from Sean Brophy and beat the buzzer by

banking home a straight-on trey from a shade behind the arc. It was the first CL

playoff decided by a last-second trey that reversed a deficit. Afterward, Nardi

said he'd been guilty of double-dribbling. The win was No. 200 for coach William

"Speedy" Morris in just nine Prep seasons. Nardi and Roman's Rakeem "Rahk"

Brookins scored 20 points apiece.

SEMIFINALS (Doubleheader at the Palestra) Carroll 51, La Salle 47: With 5:48 left in the second quarter, star point

guard DJ Irving suffered what was proven the next day to be a broken right hand.

After missing about eight total minutes, he returned and spent the rest of the

game serving, as he put it, "as a decoy." However, he did contribute a steal and

60-foot drive for a layup deposited with his left hand. Vince Mostardi passed to

Anthony Butler for a layup that made it 49-47, then Butler added two free throws

after La Salle could not connect on a layup and foul line jumper. Juan'ya Green

contributed 17 points and four assists. For La Salle, Joe Brown scored 12 points

and Eddie Mitchell dealt six assists. Neumann-Goretti 74, SJ Prep 60: Tony Chennault was dominant with 23

points, nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks. Danny Stewart (15, nine

boards) and Tyreek Duren (14, three assists) also had strong outings. The Prep

fired 31 treys and hit 14, with Joe Nardi (27 points) leading the way (7-for-12;

most successes ever in CL playoff action). Mike Fee added a 4-for-6 showing.

Nardi also had five assists and Connor McIntyre grabbed six rebounds.

FINAL (At the Palestra) Neumann-Goretti 75, Carroll 59: The Saints became just the second

team in the CL's 91-season history to roar through the regular season and

playoffs with a perfect record. Roman was 34-0 in 1990 and '91. N-G's mark was

38-0. Though Carroll was playing without star point guard DJ Irving (Boston U.),

who broke his hand in the semifinals, it stood within five points, 51-46, with

1:29 left in the third quarter when N-G's Tony Chennault (Wake Forest) and

Carroll's Ben Mingledough received double-tech ejections for their involvement

in pushing/chirping that followed a hard foul on Chennault by Vince Mostardi.

Tyreek Duren (La Salle) took over after Chennault's departure, scoring 14 of his

19 points. Danny Stewart (Rider) added 14 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks

for N-G. Mingledough (16 points, nine rebounds) and Juan'ya Green (20 points,

five assists, four steals) topped Carroll. N-G won its three playoffs by an

average of 20.3 points and its victory margin for all 19 league contests was

30.1 (1,642-1,070). It reached 100 points three times and 90 seven times. The

title was the school's sixth in 10 seasons; all were achieved while wearing road

uniforms.

Inter-Ac League

Chestnut Hill (10-0) The Blue Devils (nee Hillers) followed an incredible football season (first

share of league title) with an even better hoops campaign (first outright title

AND a perfect record at 10-0). They clinched a tie in Game No. 8, collecting a

46-25 win at Penn Charter. Their last two games were against teams in the bottom

half of the standings. Episcopal provided stiff opposition before falling,

46-45, and Haverford School was tamed the following day, 46-38. At PC, CHA

trailed, 10-7, when its Kingsley Krazies student rooters roared into the gym and

seized control. Properly inspired, the Blue Devils set sail on a 16-3 run as

Todd Cramer scored eight of his 10 points and dealt two of his three assists.

Malik Garner led the scoring against Episcopal and Haverford with 13, then 11.

Cramer (10.4) was the lone CHA player to average double figures in league play.

That was the lowest top average for a league champ since at least 1968. The

average score of CHA's league games was 45.3-35.6. Malvern finished second at

8-2. Due to weather issues, the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Tournament was

changed from a 16-team tournament to two eight-teamers. GA gained a certain

measure of revenge by beating the Blue Devils, 51-36, in the main tourney's

semifinal round. It then lost the final to Friends' Central, 72-52.

State Playoffs

CLASS A Play-In Game At Millersburg Constitution 48,

Millersburg 31: Abdul King struck for

19 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. The Generals captured the fourth

quarter, 16-4. First Round At Southern Math, Civics and Sciences 62, MMI Prep 32: Chris Stokes keyed a strong defensive effort with five steals and Thomas Moore

(11) hit three treys. At Coatesville Girard College 54, Constitution 49: Erik Raleigh (17) and Abdul King (13) led Constitution, which could not sustain

the momentum of a 10-0 lead. Second Round At Coatesville Reading Central Catholic 83, Math, Civics and Sciences

53: The Mighty Elephants were whistled

for as many as seven technical fouls (reports varied) and the game was halted

with 13.9 seconds left when senior point guard Kwahmere Gredic whipped the ball

high into the stands; it hit no one. Veronica Joyner, MC&S' founder and CAO,

later claimed her school's players, coaches and fans had been subjected to

racism by referees, and others, and that she would not penalize Gredic or coach

Danny Jackson.

CLASS AA Play-In Game At High

School of the Future Devon Prep 57, Franklin 39: Devon won the middle two quarters, 37-16. Jeff

Giddings (10) was the lone Electron to score in double figures. First Round At Southern Imhotep 67, Hanover 35: Ameen Tanksley hustled for 23 points. Imhotep won the middle quarters, 40-15. At East Pennsboro Straw. Mansion 68, Trinity 46: Jamal Jones (20) and Devonte' "DJ" Newbill (18) fueled the easy win. At Carroll/Wood West Catholic 49, Tri-Valley 32: This one featured all-time circumstances. The lights in Carroll's gym went out

with 2:29 left in the third quarter, and with West ahead, 34-17. They never came

back on and, finally, at 5:19, 1:50 after the blackout, a decision was made to

finish the game at Wood, roughly 25 miles away. The resumption began at 7, with

eight West supporters in the stands, and ended 20 minutes later. Total time

consumed: 4 hours, 50 minutes. Aquil Younger sparked West with 17 points,

including the first two at Wood on a layup. Vincent Ho scored 10 of his 13

points at Carroll. Second Round At Norristown Straw. Mansion 61, St. Pius X (Pottstown) 54: While four teammates combined to go 1-for-8 at the line down the stretch,

Devonte' "DJ" Newbill (15 points, three assists) went 6-for-6 on double bonuses

to keep Mansion afloat. Soph Khyree Wooten had nine points, seven rebounds, four

assists and three blocks. At Spring-Ford Imhotep 51, Notre Dame (Green Pond) 40: Sub Earl Brown mixed 17 points with seven rebounds. At Allentown Parkland Holy Cross 63, West Catholic 37: Only Aquil Younger (25, three treys) managed more than four points for West.

Kiwan Murray grabbed 11 boards. Quarterfinals At Bethlehem

Freedom Straw. Mansion 59, Holy Cross 55: "DJ" Newbill hit four threeballs while posting

19 points. A 13-point halftime lead evaporated into a 51-51 tie before Saadiq

Berry's layup and Khalil Meadows' two free throws provided some comfort. At Harrisburg Imhotep 42, Hughesville 37: David Appolon (15) and Earl Brown (11) scored

in double digits, Brown (11) and Erik Copes (eight; also six blocks) led in

rebounds and Tyhiem "Redz" Perrin made a clinching steal. Semifinal At Southern Straw. Mansion 49, Imhotep 47: During the regular season, Mansion won these teams' battle, 88-82, in five OTs,

then saw the Panthers regroup to win a second consecutive Pub title. With his

future college coach, Marquette's Buzz Williams, watching, Devonte' "DJ" Newbill

posted 12 points, four assists and five steals. However, with Mansion up, 48-47,

Newbill missed both ends of a double bonus at 4.3. Teammate Eric Jefferson

capped his birthday by slapping the rebound to Marque Griffin, who made the

first of two free throws at 1.2. There'd be no miracle for 'Hotep, which

received 16 points apiece from David Appolon and Ameen Tanksley. Final At Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center South Fayette 49, Straw. Mansion 47: Doubled behind the arc on Mansion's final possession, Devonte' "DJ" Newbill made

the smart play and passed to an open Khalil Meadows. His foul-line jumper did

not succeed. Newbill had 15 points and six assists. Jamal Jones complemented 10

points with 19 rebounds.

CLASS AAA First Round At Ryan Neumann-Goretti 64, Susquehanna Twp. 44: Tony Chennault scored 11 of his 23 points in a

22-10 fourth quarter and sub Derrick Stewart provided 10 points, eight rebounds,

six blocks. At Norristown Carroll 37, Holy Ghost Prep 30: Ben Mingledough claimed nine rebounds and saved 12 of his 15 points for a 22-15

second half. Juan'ya Green added 14 points. At Southern Dobbins 57, Springfield Delco 52: Springfield hit seven of his first 10 treys while storming to a 26-13 lead.

Jerrell Wright (20) and Basir Fulmore (11), celebrating his 17th birthday,

rallied the Mustangs and the latter played strong defense in the waning moments

after the Cougars rattled off seven consecutive points to rally within 51-50. Second Round At Bethlehem Freedom Neumann-Goretti 91, Holy Redeemer 56: Tony Chennault (24) and Tyreek Duren (22, lifting his career total beyond 1,000)

paced the romp. At Central Dauphin East Carroll 64, Danville 51: Juan'ya Green scrambled for 21 points, five assists and two steals as the

Patriots eventually established command. Danville made 11 consecutive shots over

the first-second quarters, then soon followed two misses with successful

follows. Ben Mingledough added 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists while

DJ Irving provided 13 points, five dimes, three thefts. At Reading High's Geigle Complex Eastern York 78, Dobbins 47: Jerrell Wright managed 12 points, nine

rebounds, three blocks. Quarterfinal At Widener University Neumann-Goretti 53, Carroll 38: The Saints avenged their same-round, same-foe '09 defeat in comfortable fashion

as Tyreek Duren supplied 10 points, four assists, three steals and his

ever-flawless ballhandling. Tony Chennault mixed 20 points and five steals while

Danny Stewart seized nine rebounds. Only Ben Mingledough (17 points, eight

boards) was much of a factor for Carroll. The Saints led, 41-28, with 4:04 left.

There was no late drama. Semifinal At Reading High's Geigle Complex Neumann-Goretti 81, Eastern York 73: N-G was able to bump off previously perfect EY thanks largely to the defense of

slender 6-foot guard Mustafaa Jones, who forced strong, 6-6 junior Andrew

Nicholas (1,800-plus career points) to miss his first nine shots. Jones also hit

a trey after EY hustled within 66-62 with 3:50 left. Danny Stewart (20) wolfed

down five dunks and Tyreek Duren packed 16 of his 18 points into the second

half. Geigle holds 3,200. N-G had maybe 35 supporters in the overflow crowd. Final At Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center Neumann-Goretti 65, Chartiers Valley 63: CV's T.J. McConnell launched 32 shots en route to that many points, but he

missed his last one, a right-wing trey at 0:03 with Lamin Fulton jumping toward

him, and N-G had its three-pack of championships (Catholic League, City, State)

while becoming only the fourth CL team in 61 years to finish with just one loss

(30 wins); no squad went perfect during that time frame. Tony Chennault

contributed 18 points, 12 rebounds and three assists while Danny Stewart made a

visit to the same numbers neighborhood (17 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks).

Mustafaa Jones (14) popped home four treys and dealt four assists. Stewart's

follow with 2:31 left put N-G ahead for good, 59-57.

CLASS AAAA First Round At Norristown La Salle 42, Chester 41: Troy Hockaday (13) took a pass from Michael Ponica and stuck a left-wing trey

with six seconds remaining, and Chester's final shot, likewise a three, was

unsuccessful. La Salle trailed, 37-28, with 4:34 remaining. This game was played

on a Sunday after a power failure the day before, at Carroll, forced a

postponement. At Neshaminy 69, Bartram 58: Quasim Jones (21) and Tyrone Garland (14, 2,198 for career) topped the Braves. At Norristown Roman 55, Souderton 54: Kevin Regan snared an offensive rebound and canned a 10-foot, left-baseline

floater with four-tenths remaining to win it. Rakeem "Rahk" Brookins knocked

down 17 points while Fortunat "Junior" Kangudi blended 12 points, eight boards,

four blocks. At Wissahickon Frankford 57, Whitehall 52: Karon Blackman scored 12 points while Dehaven Brown and Carl Wallace halved 20. Second Round At Roman 62, Reading 47 (2 OTs): Rakeem "Rahk" Brookins posted four treys and

went 8-for-10 at the line en route to 32 points. The Cahillites won the second

extra session, 17-2. Fortunat "Junior" Kangudi added 12 points, 11 rebounds. At Hempfield 41, La Salle 32: Eddie Mitchell tallied 14 points for La Salle, which dropped the second half,

31-16. At Plymouth-Whitemarsh 66, Frankford 43: Carl Wallace (11) was the only Pioneer to reach double figures in points. Quarterfinal At Villanova Plymouth-Whitemarsh 54, Roman 46: Rakeem "Rahk" Brookins notched 12 of Roman's 15 first half points and finished

with 22 total while enjoying perfection (10-for-10) at the line. The Cahillites

(Daiquan Walker 11 points) committed 24 turnovers.
