Trojans beat MNHHS

By CHARLIE HUST

The WCHS Trojans showed the grit and poise of a champion Monday night, rallying to beat Madisonville-North Hopkins 54-52 in an overtime thriller in the opening round of the Second Region Tournament at Union County High School in Morganfield.

With the score tied 50-all at the end of regulation, WCHS turned to its two leading scorers in the overtime to secure the victory. Zac Shoulders drained a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Trojans the lead for good. North’s Brennan Parish had hit a driving shot to open the extra period pushing the Maroons ahead 52-50. But Shoulder’s long-range bomb with 2:43 was the dagger that WCHS needed to grab the advantage. Fellow senior Mason Roland then added a free throw with 2.3 second left in overtime to set the final score.

By CHARLIE HUST

That wasn’t going to be the case this year as the same teams met in the opening round last Tuesday night at Henderson County High School. And despite a dramatic rally in the second and third quarters by the Braves, the Trojans pulled away with a decisive 55-34 victory. It was the third time this season Webster had taken care of their arch-rivals.

By CHARLIE HUST

The last time the Lady Trojans faced University Heights Academy in the Regional tournament was two years ago and the Lady Blazers ended a incredible season for WCHS with a come-from-behind, upset victory in the semi-finals.

But Monday night, Parker McCalister received a very nice ‘birthday gift’ from his Lady Trojans as they earned a bit of revenge topping UHA 62-50 in the opening round of the Second Region Tournament in Rocket Arena at Crittenden County High School in Marion. 

University Heights, the Eighth District champs, had already defeated Webster twice in regular-season play, but that wasn’t the case Monday as the WC girls held off a fourth quarter rally to earn a trip to the Regional semi-finals Friday against Hopkins County Central. The Lady Storm dominated Lyon County 61-44 in Monday’s first game of the Regional Tournament.
