Ben Galemmo's three consecutive long balls kept Moeller in the GCL title race |
The Crusaders survived a great game from one of Dayton's finest, while the rest of the action went pretty much as anticipated, in the final mid-week slate of the regular season.....
- Moeller 48 Chaminade Julienne 47: The Eagles knocked in a half-court shot at the buzzer to turn a four point deficit into a one point Crusaders win after senior forward Alex Voss extended the lead on a free throw with just over five seconds to play. After sustaining a late game run the Eagles, playing in front of a great home crowd, were able to pull within two as sophomore sensation Justin Bibbs, a 6'5 wing, drilled a three-pointer to with just :36 left. From there Moeller was able to make just enough free throws to hold on for a hard fought win over a very good, disciplined team. CJ was led by the 26 points of senior PF John Staley, a Northern Kentucky University recruit, and the 12 points of Bibbs. Moeller was paced by the 14 points of junior Joshua Davenport, who really turned it on late with 9 clutch fourth quarter points, and the 11 points of senior guard Ben Galemmo; it was Galemmo's three consecutive three-pointers midway through the second quarter that gave Moeller their first lead (which they would hold onto for the rest of the game). Voss finished with 8 points for Moeller and made several keys plays down the stretch, as did senior post Tony Sabato who recorded a crucial fourth quarter steal and score on his way to 8 points. The unsung hero of the game for Moeller was junior guard Keith Watkins, who only scored 6 points, but made several key defensive plays and dominated his mismatch in the Crusaders win; the win keeps Moeller in contention for the GCL title where they will need a home win over LaSalle on Friday to grab their share.
