Ben Davis advances to the Sectional title game on Saturday night against Pike after knockin’ off Roncalli 43-32 in what should have been a complete blowout. However, because there is no shot clock in Indiana high school basketball we had to sit through another one of Mark James’, Ben Davis’ head coach’s stall sessions.
Bruh…they were up 17-12 and about to run Roncalli out of the gym at the 4 minute mark of the second quarter when all of a sudden ole boy put the brakes on the joint. He was literally sittin’ on the ball for no good reason.
Ben Davis gets out of the half up 19-15. They then go on an 8-0 run to start the half and guess what? Ole boy puts the brakes on it again. The stall jumps out of the ride and starts dances in the streets. Fortunately for the Giants, Roncalli couldn’t hit an elephant in the butt with a bass fiddle in the third quarter. They didn’t score a single joint until the 6:03 mark of the final period to make the score 37-17.
They were so far out of the game that many would have thought that they would just give up. However, they didn’t. They fault to get back into it scorin’ 17 points in the final 6 minutes of the ball game but it was too late. Goin’ scoreless in the third quarter completely destroyed them.
Ben Davis advances to play Pike after both Aaron Henry and Dawand Jones led the Giants with 15 points each. Kellen Schreiber carried the Rebels with 11 points but it wasn’t enough to end Ben Davis’ hopes of repeatin’ as Class 4A State Champs.
Before goin’ forward will somebody please approve the shot clock so that we don’t have to sit through Coach James torturin’ us with the stall sessions for the remainder of the tournament? Unfortunately, that won’t happen and you can stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
