Walsh Jesuit junior guard Tyler Bell and Halligan scored five points in the third quarter to keep the Warriors within striking distance down 46-38 heading into the final eight minutes of play. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors mounted a comeback with Bell knocking in some clutch shots down the stretch to put the Warriors within two possessions in the final minute. Zach Halligan drove to the basket down five points in the final ten seconds and got the bucket to fall plus the foul. The Warriors tried to throw it off the rim on the free throw toss to get one more possession, but Vowles got the basketball and dribbled it out to secure the Knights victory by a final of 58-55.

Archbishop Hoban was led by a trio of guards as Logan Vowles recorded a team high 19 points, while knocking down five three-pointers which puts him number two all time in Knights history with 169 three-pointers. Senior guard William Scott and junior Jonas Nichols both scored 13 points for the Knights.

HOBAN BREAKS THE DOORS DOWN

/in /by

AKRON OH- Hoban sports one of the hardest schedules in the state of Ohio this season. So it hasn’t been too often they’ve been able to blast right through opponents. In fact, the last two wins that they’ve secured have been by a combined 5 points. That was not the case however on Thursday night as the Knights stormed their way to a 83-54 victory over Lutheran East.

Leading the Knights in scoring was Finley Kennedy who put in 25 points. She certainly wasn’t the only form of offense though as Mackenzie Edinburgh racked 16.  Senior Rylee Bennett was also in double figures with 10 points.

Hoban will get right back in to action on Saturday as they compete in the “Battle In The Hawk’s Nest” tournament at Bishop Hartley High School. The Knights will square off with Notre Dame Academy out of Kentucky at 4:15.
