After Liberty managed to slow the game throughout the final minutes, Central’s game-clinching run began with Turner’s 3 from low on the right with 50 seconds left. Styles took a charge from Cooper Davis with 13.6 seconds left as Davis drove toward the paint, then Styles ran down the lane almost untouched for a layup on the other end to make it 52-49 with 7.3 seconds left.“I kind of just played it the best I could. was just playing basketball, I guess.
Denison recruit Nick Heath scored a game-high 23 points, including back-to-back layups in the game-deciding run as UA improved to 21-4.

St. Charles, which was the 15th seed and finished 14-9, has one of the area’s top inside players in 6-8 junior center Chase Walker, and he scored his team’s first three baskets.“We had a couple different plans and it seemed like none of them worked,” Staib said. “He’s a really good player, but we thought if we could battle him and keep everybody else in check, we knew he’d score points but not enough to beat us.
Newark Catholic improved to 14-11 and will play Berlin Hiland in a regional semifinal at 6 p.m. March 8 at Ohio University.
