Austin-East (53) @ White County (54)
Sophomore Tripp Pinion’s final seconds scooped layup ensured that the magical Shane Cherry Shane Cherry 5'9" | PG Austin-East | 2025 State #353 Nation TN was not on top.
Final score: 54-53. White County to the State Tournament.
Shane Cherry Shane Cherry 5'9" | PG Austin-East | 2025 State #353 Nation TN scored 21 points and proved nearly impossible to keep away from the lane. Still, Jakeb Davis Jakeb Davis 6'2" | CG White County | 2023 State TN and Tripp Pinion alternated the daunting task.
Considering the challenge, both did pretty well. Cherry is and will be a super high school star with a college to follow.
Japheth Richmond Japheth Richmond 6'6" | PF White County | 2023 State TN scored four points in a row, his quick left-handed touch so deft. Times were extremely dire without Richmond around. The senior star was forced to the bench with significant foul trouble. When he returned the game changed.
Roadrunner Zeus Sanders Zeus Sanders 6'2" | SG Austin-East | 2023 State TN finished his HS career with a 10-point game. He played well, but the young team needed the hulking veteran to stabilize them more late. Teammates committed damaging turnovers.
