• Middletown 55 Walnut Hills 44: Intense game that was closer then the score indicates. The Middies survived a scare from the upset minded Eagles of Walnut Hills. Walnut has a lot of talent but many of their top players are young, and their leader Alex McGlothin missed almost the whole year with an injury. Geovonie McKnight was not feeling his jumper tonight so he did what great players do, find a way to contribute somewhere else. McKnight was active on defense, scored 3 times off of offensive rebounds, and passed the ball exceptionally well. He led the way with 17 points while senior sharpshooter Mike Brown added 14. Vince Edwards had another strong night for the Middies scoring 7 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. Walnut Hills was led by sophomore guard Sterling Gilmore's 10 points and also got 8 points from sophomore center Isiah Johnson. Johnson is a wide body down low that really played physical tonight and also possesses a soft touch to compliment his great strength. The Middies next game will be against Winton Woods at UC on Saturday night.

  Winton Woods 79 Lakota West 42: With college coaches from Georgetown and Iowa in the building to watch, Semaj Christon made sure not to disappoint.

Semaj finished with 18 points and 6 assists for the night. Winton Woods was led by Dion Dearmond, who scored 21 points, and Dennis Thomas' 18.
