That Unforgettable Monday Night

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Careers culminating in that first March Monday, the final basketball night for half the participants. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Austin-East (53) @ White County (54)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2448254' first='Tripp' last='Pinion']'s final seconds scooped layup ensured that the magical <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273550' first='Shane' last='Cherry']</strong> was not on top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Final score: 54-53. White County to the State Tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1273550' first='Shane' last='Cherry'] scored 21 points and proved nearly impossible to keep away from the lane. Still, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1262822' first='Jakeb' last='Davis']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2448254' first='Tripp' last='Pinion']</strong> alternated the daunting task.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Considering the challenge, both did pretty well. Cherry is and will be a super high school star with a college to follow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/PrepHoopsTN/status/1632928412552626178?t=NblyqXzsGdGtIzvlnrm2XQ&amp;s=19">https://twitter.com/PrepHoopsTN/status/1632928412552626178?t=NblyqXzsGdGtIzvlnrm2XQ&amp;s=19</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1261285' first='Japheth' last='Richmond']</strong> 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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roadrunner <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1642545' first='Zeus' last='Sanders']</strong> 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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Fayette Ware @ Haywood</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CourtneyHoops90/status/1632936425644539906?t=4uDjru6fvXxuXzkaynQ-3Au0026amp;s=19","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CourtneyHoops90/status/1632936425644539906?t=4uDjru6fvXxuXzkaynQ-3A&amp;s=19 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Fulton</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>https://twitter.com/FultonBBall/status/1632921029097005058?t=_2-SNId6FLG6UedtBZElCA&amp;s=19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
