City Titles

CLASS A No game. No "A" schools in Catholic League. CLASS AA (At SJ Prep) Comm Tech 55, McDevitt 53 Markeise Chandler (15 points) hit the right side of the rim on a leaping

push shot from just beyond halfcourt as McDevitt came close to posting what would have been its second postseason win in 49 years

of Catholic League membership. The Lancers had gone 3-10 in CL play, qualifying for this contest but not earning

one of 10 playoff berths. Frosh Samir Doughty (14), Tony Parker and Terrence Brown (11 apiece) paced CT. Parker snagged 12

rebounds and his identical twin, Terrell, mixed eight points with five boards despite missing a quarter's worth of playing

time with an ankle injury. They were the first twins to start for a City champion. CLASS AAA (At Southern) Neumann-Goretti 66, Boys' Latin 57 After BL scrambled to a 28-21 lead, its hopes of pulling a gigantic upset

were dashed, literally, as the Saints stormed to 20 of the next 23 points thanks mostly to transition buckets. BL helped by

shooting 0-for-8 in the first six minutes of the third quarter. John Davis jammed 14 of his 21 points and 11 of his 15 rebounds

into the second half while winning MVP honors. Ja'Quan Newton added 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists. Maurice "Doo-Wop"

Watson, a Boston University signee, totaled 22 points, five assists and a whopping 10 steals for

the Warriors. Yahmir Greenlee added 16 points, advancing within 10 of 1,000. CLASS AAAA (At Lincoln) SJ Prep 63, Bartram 56 Coach William "Speedy" Morris won his first City Title in 38 years (1974

with Roman) and star junior guard Stephen Vasturia tied the game record for points, which had stood alone since 1955. The

owner? None other than Overbrook's Wilt "Dippy" Chamberlain, with 35 vs. West Catholic in 1955. This game took

place one day after the 50th anniversary of Chamberlain's 100-point game with the Philadelphia Warriors. After shooting

3-for-12 for seven points in the first half, Vasturia exploded for 28 in the second half (17 in fourth quarter). He shot

10-for-22 (six treys) and 9-for-9. The Hawks went 13-for-34 beyond the arc and tried just 11 regulars, hitting six. Gene

Williams (four treys) added 14 points. Tom Stewart, usually the seventh man but not used in the CL semis and final at the

Palestra, accounted for 13 points with seven of his own and two assists that led to six more. The Hawks were without star

junior swingman Miles Overton (thumb surgery). For Bartram, which lost the last quarter, 21-12, Terrieck Williams

sniped 8-for-9 for 17 points.

Public League

Bohannan (20), Deryl Bagwell (13) and Yusef Savage (eight) -- scored for

Northeast. Central 63, Overbrook 62: Chace McCall scored his only points on a

had 16 points for Hope. Esperanza 63, Mastery North 62: Khalil Keel's blocked shot at 0:01

preserved the Toros' first playoff win. Shaquille Bowman (17), Abdoulay Gakou

and Keel (15 apiece) paced the scoring. Najere Johnson (18) powered MN. Freire 77, Sayre 58: Carlton Wright totaled seven rebounds, five

assists and three steals, and scored 17 of his 26 points in the second half.

Hakim Williams (20) and Ikeem Dickerson (15) topped Sayre. Masterman 75, Straw. Mansion 54: Mike Sturdivant (26) and Gary Bryant

(24) were whirlwinds as the Blue Dragons stormed to victory. Karon Keene (15)

led Mansion. Class A World Comm 56, Parkway West 50: Fa'Teem Glenn (15) scored eight

fourth quarter points. Larry Webster (21) sparked the visitors.

FIRST ROUND Class AAAA Fels 43, Southern 42: Danil Mateo hit five free throws in the

fourth quarter and two with 0:30 remaining helped to give the Panthers their

first postseason win since 1992. TJ Scott scored 11 points and Malakiah "Max"

Hunter (14) topped Southern. Washington 45, Frankford 43: Kendale Truitt's layup at 0:16 raised his

point total to 22 and broke a 43-43 tie. Frankford's last shot rolled off the

rim. Tyree Tucker (12) and Shaquil Rone (10) reached double digits for the

losers. Olney 43, King 37: Soph Shakeem Stevens had 12 points and seven

assists, Tim Jackson claimed seven rebounds and Darius Wallace scored five

points in the fourth quarter. Gerald Scott (11) paced King. Bartram 70, Central 61: Gary Gordon, who missed the first month of the

season with a torn meniscus (right knee), hustled for 14 points, nine rebounds

and four steals, and he had five apiece of points/boards in a 24-12 fourth

quarter. Sixth man Malik Noel added 18 points and five steals. Kyle Lafferty

tallied 14 points for Central before fouling out with 4:22 left. Class AAA Phila. Electrical 82, Dobbins 64: Emmanuel Brown (five assists,

four steals) and Hakeem Baxter halved 34 points and David George added nine

boards/three blocks to eight points. Dequan Jackson (13) did it for Dobbins. University City 52, Franklin 47: Diante Lunsford was impactful with 15

points, seven rebounds, five assists and six steals. Little-guy guard Marcus

Lyles scrambled for nine rebounds, seven assists. Sharif Saunders had 14 points

for Franklin. Boys' Latin 68, Franklin LC 51: Maurice "Doo-Wop" Watson packed 17 of

his 23 points into a 45-35 second half. He also totaled seven assists. Carlos

Taylor (17) and Yahmir Greenlee (16) helped out. George "Tony" Ellis (14) led

FLC. Eng. and Science 73, West Phila. 43: Tajhere McCall hustled for 26

points, six assists and four steals, and received similar assistance from Dijon

Eggleton (15, four, three). Brandon Brown grabbed 10 boards and shot 5-for-5

from the floor. Desmond Sams (10) reached doubles for the Speedboys. Class AA Del-Val 61, Prep Charter 58: Fateem Brockington (17) hit a free

throw with 0:10 left, thus assuring PC would have to go long to force OT. Khayri

King added 13 points. Laquan Stephens (18) led the losers. Imhotep 77, Masterman 51: Khyree Wooten had seven assists and scored 12

of his 23 points in a 23-6 fourth quarter. Nigel Grant (21 points) and Shakur

Nesmith hit the glass with 11 and nine, respectively. Gary Bryant (16) paced

Masterman. Comm Tech 59, Esperanza 34: The Phoenix dominated the third quarter,

20-4, as Terrell Parker posted 11 points. Shaquille Bowman (22) powered the

Toros. Vaux 63, Freire 52: Rysheed Jordan exploded for 30 points and saved 12

for a 23-11 fourth quarter. He also contributed seven apiece of rebounds/assists

and two apiece of steals/blocks. Class A Constitution 104, World Comm 56: Savon Goodman dominated to the

tune of 41 points and 21 boards . . . in just three quarters. Daiquan Walker

added 28 points (four treys) and 10 assists. Soph Quamier Johnson (29) paced WC. Robeson 77, Sankofa 72: The Huskies led early by 21, then needed a trey

by Marquise Richards (wearing pink sneakers) to provide a hint of late-game

comfort at 74-68. Richards had 27 points, three steals. Acquil Craft-Brown mixed

17 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists and five steals. Sub Tydeus Ellison (22)

and Dache Talbert (21) led Sankofa, still without a senior class (next year for

that). Math/Civics/Sciences 87, New Media 44: Jeremiah "Lump" Worthem had 16

points and nine boards while getting inside help from Quadir Welton (11 boards).

Deep sub Will Williams created a late-game stir with five assists. Eric Moody

managed 11 points for NM. Lamberton 75, Palmer 70: DJ Alexander (21), Kevin Cooper (17) and

Anthony Fagan (15) led the way as the Blue Devils claimed a playoff win for the

first time since 2000. Fagan had 10 points in a 27-21 fourth quarter. Hoven and

Trebor Adams halved 22 boards and Fagan (10) was right behind. Quamir White

dropped 23 Palmer points.

ROUND OF 16 Class AAAA Fels 66, Washington 60: Njiay Kelly was 4-for-3 at the line in the

fourth quarter while posting 12 of his 18 points. TJ Scott (16) and Casey Bell

(11) also reached double figures for the Panthers. William Davis (24), Nafece

Edwards (15) and Kendale Truitt (13) turned that trick for Washington. Bartram 51, Olney 44: Gerald Evariste was credited with 20 rebounds and

seven blocks and Tarrieck Williams (13) led a balanced scoring attack. Gary

Gordon's assist total matched his point total (10). Fred Frazier (12) led Olney. Class AAA Phila. Electrical 66, University City 60: Hakeem Baxter (21) and

Emmanuel Brown (17) halved 18 points in a 29-18 third quarter while Brown and

Davian Joseph snagged eight rebounds apiece overall. Khayri Washington (15)

paced the Jaguars. Boys' Latin 62, Eng. and Science 59: BL lost all but one point of a

nine-point lead over the final 1:40, but Yahmir Greenlee's hard drive produced a

layup at 0:17 and E&S could not connect on a right-wing trey at the buzzer.

Maurice "Doo-Wop" Watson collected 30 points, five boards, six assists and seven

steals while Greenlee's numbers were 21, five, two and three. Fresh off a

commitment to Holy Family, guard Tajhere McCall paced E&S with 18 points and

seven rebounds. Dijon Eggleton added 16 points and six assists. Class AA Comm Tech 66, Imhotep 61: Bus problems caused CT to arrive a

half-hour late and then the teams combined to commit 41 turnovers and go

38-for-77 at the line. End result -- the three-time defending Pub champions went

down. Terrence Brown shot 5-for-6 and 12-for-15 for 22 points and was the only

CT player not to have four fouls by the third quarter; just one fouled out. Sub

Briheam Anthony hit three treys en route to 11 points. Khyree Wooten (19) and

junior Brandon Austin (16), who'd committed to Penn State five days earlier,

paced Imhotep, which had gone 66-3 against Pub opposition -- counting the

regular season (49-3) and playoffs (17-0) -- over the last four seasons, with

state titles in '09 and '11. Vaux 77, Del-Val 64: Junior guard Rysheed Jordan (16) raised his career

point total to 1,015 and James Cole scored 15 of his 24 points in a 27-18 third

quarter. Fateem Brockington (27) was explosive for D-V. Class A Constitution 99, Lamberton 49: Savon Goodman snagged 17 rebounds

and reached 40 points (41) for the sixth time on the season. Daiquan Walker

mixed 18 points with eight assists and Amonie Holloman drained seven treys for

21 points. Kevin Cooper (18) and D.J. Alexander (13) led Lamberton. Math/Civics/Sciences 79, Robeson 53: Basil Thompson (17), Malik Starkes

(13) and Abraham Massaley (12) all tallied seven points in a 25-9 first quarter.

Quadir Welton finished with 13 rebounds. Nate Hargust (14) was Robeson's lone

double figure scorer.

QUARTERFINALS (Doubleheader at Franklin) Comm Tech 58, Vaux 55: Terrence Brown shot 9-for-14 en route to 19 points,

sixth man Basil Malik contributed 13 points and Terrell Parker snatched 12

rebounds as the Phoenix claimed the AA crown. Rysheed Jordan (19) emerged as

Vaux' only double figure scorer, but was unable to hit a late trey that would

have forced OT. Boys' Latin 81, Phila. Electrical 60: Guard Maurice "Doo-Wop" Watson

exploded for 41 points, thus claiming the No. 2 spot on the city's list of

leading career scorers. With two free throws 1:34 before halftime, he tied and

then passed 1955 Overbrook grad Wilt Chamberlain (2,206), who grew up around the

corner from the gym, Shepard (nee Haddington) RC, used by BL for games and

practices. Watson raised his total to 2,228. Backcourt sidekick Yahmir Greenlee

added 17 points, five assists and four steals for the AAA champs. Hakeem Baxter

(20) led the Chargers. (Doubleheader at Southern) Bartram 57, Fels 49: In the battle for AAAA honors, Terrieck Williams

honored the memory of his deceased grandpop (one day earlier) by hustling for 10

points and 12 rebounds while sub Malik Noel sniped 5-for-7 en route to 12

points. Eleven came in a 17-10 second quarter. Gary Gordon scored 19 points. For

Fels, Nijay Kelly collected 13 points and nine boards while Danil Mateo mixed 12

points with four steals. Constitution 72, Math/Civics/Sciences 51: In the A showdown, Savon

Goodman hammered home six dunks while registering 24 points and his other

numbers (14 rebounds, six assists, four steals) were also impressive. Fajion

Jones bagged 18 points and 10 rebounds and Daiquan Walker dealt six assists. Two

minutes before halftime, Craig "Poppy" Slade took a charge and one of his front

upper teeth went bouncing along the baseline. He then headed for the hospital.

Jeremiah "Lump" Worthem (12 rebounds) and Malik Starkes halved 30 points for the

losers.

SEMIFINALS (Doubleheader at Southern) Boys' Latin 70, Comm Tech 59: The Warriors rolled to a 17-6 lead in the

first eight minutes and Maurice "Doo-Wop" Watson didn't score until the final

seconds; Carlos Taylor (eight) and Yahmir Greenlee (seven) did all of the early

damage. Watson did finish with 23 points (11 at line) and nine assists while

Greenlee (18) and Taylor (17) were not far behind. Taylor led in rebounds with

seven. Frosh Samir Doughty paced CT with 18 points and Tony Parker shot 5-for-5

and 4-for-5 for 14. His twin, Terrell, claimed eight rebounds. Constitution 76, Bartram 55: The Generals' win assured a championship

game between teams with only seven seasons of combined Pub experience -- four

for BL, three for Con. Sixth man Amonie "Moonie" Hollman shot 5-for-9 on treys

for 15 points and most were perfectly timed to thwart Bartram rallies. Savon

Goodman collected 27 points and 11 rebounds while Daiquan Walker showed

versatility with 15 points, seven rebounds and nine assists. Gary Gordon (20),

Malik Noel (13) and Jared Bryant (10) led Bartram, which surrendered 21 of the

last 25 points mostly because it kept fouling and fouling and fouling, even long

after even faint hope had vanished.

FINAL (At Community College of Phila.) Constitution 85, Boys' Latin 60: In an ironic twist, the Generals

(18-9) likely became the Pub champ with the most overall losses while racking up

the second highest victory margin (to Gratz' 26-point win over Comm Tech in

2006) in a final. ConHigh forced seven turnovers in the first 6:51 and seized a

13-4 lead on a steal/dunk combo by high-wire-act Savon Goodman (24 points, five

dunks, 12 rebounds, six steals). Then, things only got better. Daiquan Walker

totaled 15 points and seven assists to earn game MVP honors while Craig "Poppy"

Slade, who'd missed the semifinals after losing a tooth in a quarterfinal,

grabbed 10 boards and played shutout defense. His uncles, identical twins

Mike/Mark (Lincoln football '79) and William "Randy" Slade (Dobbins basketball

'85), had also won Pub crowns. Amonie "Moonie" Holloman (15) and Fajion Jones

(13) also scored in double figures. Yahmir Greenlee (20; most posted during

helter-skelter time) and Maurice "Doo-Wop" Watson (14), who in a quarterfinal

had surpassed Wilt Chamberlain to become the No. 2 scorer in city history,

topped BL. Roughly 80 percent of the spectators departed before game's end.

First Round La Salle 59, Judge 41: Borrowing an idea from Taylor University, in

Indiana, La Salle's student rooters, about 200 strong, staged "Silent Night."

They wore costumes and remained silent/still until the Explorers scored their

10th point, then went berserk (and remained in high-energy mode throughout). The

first 10 points were achieved in 4:08 thanks to two treys by Matt Rodden and two

more by Steve Smith, making it 12-0. Smith (20 points) finished with six.

Darnell Artis had six assists. Brian Hennessey (19) led Judge. As the final

seconds melted away, the La Salle kids sang -- you got it -- "Silent Night." O'Hara 45, Conwell-Egan 44: Trying for its second playoff win in school

history (No. 1 had come in its first CL season, 1963-64), C-E roared to 10

consecutive points and took a 44-42 lead on Dylan Pease's left-side, seven-foot

jumper with 9.6 seconds remaining. Heartache came at the buzzer as Pat Hagenbach

took a pass from Sean Havink and drained a right-wing trey, giving O'Hara its

first playoff win since a 1998 semifinal. Ed Allen (10 rebounds) and Mike Louden

scored 12 points apiece. C-E's Jamal Nwaniemeka scored 20 points to raise his

career total to 1,009, counting 139 at Cardinal Dougherty (through 2010). Quarterfinals Neumann-Goretti 77, O'Hara 51: Billy Shank's 22-point outing included five

treys while John Davis (eight rebounds) and Ja'Quan Newton (six assists) halved

30 points. Derrick Stewart (nine) also hit the boards for the Saints, who upped

their four-season CL winning streak, counting regular season games and playoffs,

to 68. Sub Sean Havink led O'Hara with 18 points and he nailed four shots from

beyond the arc. Mike Louden dished four assists. Carroll 53, La Salle 49: The Explorers used a 9-1 run to storm within

45-44 with 2:58 remaining, but Alec Stavetski, mostly quiet to that point,

swished a trey and a regular to again put Carroll in command. Lou Dominique

(12), Yosef Yacob (11, five assists) and Isaiah Warren scored in double figures

and frosh Derrick Jones claimed 12 rebounds. Amar Stukes (18) topped La Salle in

points while Ryan Winslow (nine) and Steve Smith (eight) were the rebound

leaders. SJ Prep 76, Wood 49: Kevin Oberlies, usually content to perform little

tasks, sniped 7-for-10 (three treys) and 3-for-3 for 20 points, dealt four

assists and still played strong defense (on soph Pat Smith; 11 points). Miles

Overton's 18-point afternoon featured four treys in the second half. Guard

Stephen Vasturia (12) was the top rebounder. Shane Neher led the Vikings with 15

points and his five rebounds were three more than anyone else claimed. Roman 53, Ryan 43: At Philadelphia University, Shafeek Taylor shot

7-for-12 and 4-for-5 for 19 points while sharing leading-rebounder honors with

Rashann London (eight apiece). Ryan's leaders were Nick Aughenbaugh for points

(10) and Christian Rivera (four) for rebounds. Kyle Slawter attempted no shots

while distributing five assists. Semifinals Doubleheader at the Palestra Neumann-Goretti 73, Roman 56: Billy Shank, held scoreless during

the teams' regular season OT meeting, nailed three treys as the Saints stormed

to a 12-2 lead. Derrick Stewart had the other (he went first) and Hanif Sutton

racked up the four assists (en route to eight). Roman charged within six points

late in the third quarter, but N-G closed with an eight-point run thanks to

threes by the Quan Half-Quartet (La'Quan Coaxum and Ja'Quan Newton) and Coaxum's

follow. Newton went 10-for-14 at the line while scoring 17 points. Stewart

grabbed 10 rebounds. Shep Garner (20) and Shafeek Taylor (14) paced Roman. SJ Prep 58, Carroll 49: Known usually for their treyball expertise, the

Hawks instead thrived inside while making William "Speedy" Morris the winningest

coach in city history at 622; Dan Dougherty had 621. They went 18-for-28 on twos

and were a lofty 15-for-18 through the third quarter, which ended 46-30. Miles

Overton totaled 20 points (three trreys) and three assists while Stephen

Vasturia added 16 points, eight rebounds, four dimes. Gene Williams (eight

boards) and Kevin Oberlies (five assists) helped out. Yosef Yacob topped Carroll

in points (17) and assists (five). Lou Dominique did so in rebounds (11). No

announcement of Morris' feat was made over the PA system. Speedy's

son/assistant, Keith, reminded everyone in the locker room. An announcement of

the 621-621 tie HAD been made after the quarterfinal. Final At the Palestra Neumann-Goretti 59, SJ Prep 57 (OT): After being fouled on a follow

with 1.3 seconds remaining, and with a beyond-energetic capacity crowd looking

on, Ja'Quan Newton strolled to the line and tallied his 20th and 21st points,

thus handing the Saints their fourth consecutive title and 70th straight win,

counting playoffs, in CL competition. The possession started with a missed flip

shot, off a drive, by Hanif Sutton. N-G coach Carl Arrigale captured his eighth

CL crown, the same number garnered by Prep boss William "Speedy" Morris, who

coached Arrigale at Penn Charter in the '83 and '84 seasons. Newton made a huge

play with just over a minute remaining. After soaring to get his hands on an

errant inbound pass at midcourt, he saved the ball to Prep's Gene Williams. An

easy layup seemed imminent, but Newton arrived out of nowhere to register a

block and Billy Shank scored at the other end, making it 57-52. Stephen Vasturia

(19 points, 11 rebounds) created a tie with a way-out-there trey at 0:56 and

two free throws at 33.9. Shank and Derrick Stewart (13 points, three threes),

rotation members even as freshmen, were the last two guys to cut down the net.

John Davis (12) and Newton (11) topped N-G in rebounds and Stewart notched three

blocks. Sutton dished five assists and shared dog-him duties with La'Quan Coaxum

on Vasturia, a junior already committed to Notre Dame. Miles Overton (16) and

Williams (12) also scored in double figures for Prep; Overton missed some time

with an ankle injury and fouled out 36 seconds into the extra session. Just 12

players participated, and the number hadn't been that low since 1984's final

offered a very similar result (Bonner 58, La Salle 56).

Inter-Ac League

2012 Malvern (8-2) Before a full-house crowd on a Saturday night, Malvern established early

control and then held off visiting Germantown Academy, 55-52, to earn a second

consecutive outright title for the first time since 1976-77. A loss would have

created a MP/GA-gotta-share situation. Small point guard Steve Perpiglia had 17

points, four assists and even a team-high eight rebounds. Brendan Kilpatrick,

later named the league MVP for the second consecutive season, totaled 16 points

and three apiece of assists/steals while Dennis Gabert had 12 points, six boards

and five steals. Nick Lindner (14), James Drury and Greg Dotson (13 each) led

GA, which was coached by top assistant Mike Hannigan. On Jan. 31, the original

date for this game, head man Jim Fenerty was hospitalized with a health problem.

He missed his 500th career win three days later, shared the bench with Hannigan

the next day for a non-league win over Peddie (N.J.), then was told to step away

for the remainder of the season. In the Indy tourney, Malvern (24-3) and GA

dropped semifinals.

just the second postseason win in the school's 49 years of Catholic League

membership. Markeise Chandler (16 points) and Brahieme Jackson (13 rebounds)

also were clutch. At 3-10, McDevitt failed to claim one of the 10 playoff

berths in the 14-team CL before coming within two points of Comm Tech for

the City Title.

At New Oxford

jumper ended regulation.

At Bethlehem Liberty

McDevitt 61, Riverside 55 (OT):

Brahieme Jackson (24 points)

rebounds to 11 points.

Quarterfinal

At Germantown

Imhotep 65, McDevitt 54:

In the last moments of the first half,

Tymere Wilder turned a steal into a lengthy push-shot trey and gave McDevitt

a 28-18 lead. Properly awakened, Imhotep stormed through the second half to

assure a seventh consecutive 20-win season. Brandon Austin totaled

24 points (four treys), 11 rebounds, two assists and six

steals, and held Brahieme Jackson to just one shot in the second half.

Kamani Jordan poured in 17 of his 19 points after intermission. The Lancers

(Tyrell Long 17) were missing co-star Markeise Chandler (ankle injury vs.

Riverside).

Semifinal

At Bethlehem Liberty

Imhotep 37, Holy Cross 35:

Deion Evans, the eighth man, blocked

a layup just before the buzzer to send the Panthers to their third title

game in four years. Brandon Austin had 16 points, 10 rebounds, two assists

and five steals. Only Kamani Jordan (six points, trey to make it 36-34)

scored more than four points aside from Austin while only Devin Liggeons

(five) claimed more than two boards.

Final

At Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center

Imhotep 56, Beaver Falls 54 (OT):

Khyree Wooten scored 13 of

his 15 points beyond intermission and Brandon Austin matched 13 points with

as many boards as the Panthers claimed their third state title in four years

(missed in 2010). Constitution (A) and Neumann-Goretti (AAA) had triumphed

on Friday night. This win, accomplished on Saturday afternoon, enabled

District 12 to become the first in Pennsylvania history to win three state

titles in back-to-back seasons. Shakur NeSmith got the Panthers to overtime

with a steal and layup and Austin (also four assists, three steals/blocks)

put them ahead for good, at 52-50, with a theft/dunk combo. He left open the

door to possible heartache by missing two free throws at 4.2, but BF's last

shot did not connect.

CLASS AAA First Round

At Ryan

used a 14-0 run to expand a 7-4 lead. Alec Stavetski had 18 points, seven

rebounds. En route to the game, Carroll's bus driver was ticketed for

speeding.

Quarterfinals

At Norristown

Neumann-Goretti 64, Holy Ghost Prep 37:

Ja'Quan Newton

collected 19 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals as the

hit three treys and John Davis complemented 12 points with 10 rebounds.

At Allentown Parkland

Boys' Latin 76, Abington Heights 72 (OT):

Carlos Taylor (32, up

to 1,018) become the third Warrior to reach 1,000 career points, joining

Maurice "Doo-Wop" Watson and Yahmir Greenlee. After Watson fouled out, his

freshman brother, Tymir, hit a bucket that provided a 71-70 lead. Away from

the ball, Taylor was simultaneously fouled and added two free throws,

lifting his freebies performance to 13-for-14. Greenlee had 17 points.

At Chambersburg

Hampton 45, Carroll 44:

Derrick Jones netted 10 points for the

Patriots, who closed with a 15-6 run that was capped by Isaiah Warren's

trey. With Carroll out of timeouts, Hampton did not have to inbound the

ball. Carroll went scoreless for almost seven minutes in the second quarter.

Semifinal

At Southern

Neumann-Goretti 74, Boys' Latin 43:

BL's Maurice "Doo-Wop"

Watson finished with 18 points, finalizing his career total as the

second-best in city history (2,356), but his main sidekicks, Yahmir Greenlee

and Carlos Taylor, combined to go 3-for-23 from the floor. For N-G, John

Davis and Ja'Quan Newton halved 38 points while Billy Shank (13) hit three

treys. Davis added 11 rebounds.

Final

At Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center

Neumann-Goretti 48, Montour 45:

With Ja'Quan Newton (17), John

Davis (11) and Billy Shank (10) scoring in double figures, Derrick Stewart

claiming 11 rebounds and La'Quan Coaxum ever so slightly blocking a

left-corner trey at the buzzer, the Saints used a true team effort to

capture their third consecutive state title. No Pennsy team had won as many

in a row since Kennedy Christian (four in A from 1998-2001). This triumph

made Carl Arrigale's squads 91-1 over the last four seasons, counting league

games/playoffs (70-0), City Titles (4-0) and state playoffs (17-1). The only

loss was to Carroll in an '09 quarterfinal.

CLASS AAAA First Round

At Ryan

Central Bucks West 48, SJ Prep 44:

After falling into a 28-16

halftime hole, the Prep charged all the way back within 40-39 on P.J.

Kelly's trey (assist to Stephen Vasturia) with 1:44 left. Kelly hit Tom

Stewart for another trey at 0:15, again closing the gap to one, but two free

throws followed and a tying three-pointer did not succeed. Vasturia had 22

points, finalizing his junior season at 1,149 and giving him a good shot at

the school record belonging to Reggie Redding ('06, 1,568).

At Southern

Bartram 48, Central Dauphin East 47:

After taking a surprise

pass from Gary Gordon, Gerald Evariste had a layup attempt blocked. However,

he then snatched his 12th rebound and a follow at 0:14, making the Braves a

winner. Gordon had 12 points.

At Bethlehem Freedom

Roman 64, Parkland 48:

Shep Garner mixed four assists with

eight points, Shafeek Taylor (14) hit two treys while going 5-for-6 from the

floor and Secean Johnson claimed nine boards.

At Milton Hershey

Harrisburg 68, Fels 59:

T.J. Scott (16), Nijay Kelly (15, 11

rebounds) and Devon Wilson (12) paced the Panthers, who led by two points

after three quarters.

Second Round

At Norristown

Coatesville 61, Bartram 51:

The Braves' bus arrived just six

minutes before the scheduled start, which perhaps they shot 5-for-20 in the

first half. Thanks to Gary Gordon, who scored 10 of his 21 points in the

third quarter, they did rally within three before fading.

At Norristown

Lower Merion 67, Roman 49:

Rashann London (18 points) and

Shafeek Taylor (seven assists) had good moments for the Cahillites, who were

victimized for 13 blocks and lost the last quarter, 24-11.
