A shocking upset was in the works, but didn't quite happen, as the Crusaders struggled with Aiken; also, some very competitive games at the Bluegrass-Buckeye Charity Classic......

• Moeller 57 Aiken 51: CPHR’s top division I team the Moeller Crusaders was in a battle all night with the Falcons from Aiken. Aiken took a 29-24 halftime lead and from that point on it was a game of two huge Moeller runs that proved to be the difference in this one. With 5:31 left in the third the Falcons had a 10 point lead and that’s when Moeller went on their first run, scoring 11 straight points to take a 35-34 lead. Tied at 39 all going into the fourth quarter Moeller put together a 9-0 run to take a 48-39 lead. Aiken managed to put together a late rally and with 42 seconds to go a steal and quick score by Aikens starting guard Willie Moore put the game at 53-51 with 32 seconds left. From that point on Moeller used their clutch free throw shooting to finish the weekend with its 2^nd win in as many days. Moeller Junior Wing Josh Davenport continued his domination this season finishing with a game high 26 points. Aiken was lead by senior guard Willie Moore who struggled to get good shots all night finishing with 12 points and Junior Wing Austin Grimes finished with 16 points.
