Game Highlights for 1/24



There were some outstanding team and individual performances of note last night, January 24th. P-Hoops was again at the Indianapolis City Tournament for the two semifinal matchups and saw some great action there. Here are some quick updates on how teams fared and who played well last night.

* Arlington beat Broad Ripple on a last second shot on an out of bounds play 69-67. Freshman Ron Patterson, who is visiting IU today, led the Rockets back in the final two minutes, scoring eight straight points on a put back, two pull-up jumpers, and two free throws. He finished with 19 points, but it wasn't enough in the end. Steven Jamison had 18 points and ten boards, but he fouled out amidst some official confusion, so was unable to play the fourth quarter. Junior Howard Stevenson had seven points and 13 rebounds. The Golden Knights were led by Phillip Freeman with 23 points and Corey Rhorer with 21 points and 11 rebounds.

* Cathedral beat Heritage Christian 53-45 despite stellar defense from the Eagles, who limited the Irish stars all night. Jarrett Hamilton was a nightmare all game long, splitting defenders on the way to 21 points. Errick Peck had eight points while Kelsey Barlow chipped in with six. Morgan Cook led Heritage with 13 points, Tommy Eggleston had 12, and Durrel Davis added ten. Eggleston and Cook had great tournaments, averaging 20.3 ppg and 16 ppg respectively.
