Benet Rolls to State

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Auburn was right there with the top-ranked RedWings in the games opening stages. Holding a lead for a good chunk of the opening quarter. Much of that thanks to a pair of 3-pointers from [player_tooltip player_id='2962328' first='Kaidan' last='Dozie'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But it didn't take long for Benet to get going. They started things off with [player_tooltip player_id='2105376' first='Colin' last='Stack'], who outsized everyone on the floor. Seeming almost unstoppable in the paint on both ends. But his unselfishness as a passer was also relevant as he dished out a pair of assists in the second quarter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>By halftime, Benet was up double figures on perfect shooting in the second quarter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edvardas Stasys, [player_tooltip player_id='2105390' first='Jayden' last='Wright'], and Ethan McDermot catapulted the red wings to a 15 point lead. But it was the ability to close out on defense that really stood out for them. Allowing zero points for the first four minutes of the third quarter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Benet held on to win 69-42.
