ELIZABETHTOWN – The Sesser-Valier Red Devils fall short to the Goreville Blackcats, 48-44 in the sectional final game at Hardin County last night.
Preston Launius led the Devils with 17 points last night, Tyler Winchester added 13, and Lukas Gunter added seven.
Braden Webb led the way for the Blackcats with 13 points, Tanner Dunn added 11, and, Cole Tosh added nine.
Goreville is in uncharted territory for their program. They advance to the Elite Eight facing Mowequa Central A & M in the Class 1A Super Sectional at the SIU arena. They were 69-56 winners over Nokoms last night, on A & M’s home floor.
Two teams in the Sweet 16 (it will never be Super 16 in my book) shows the strength of the BDC West. Christopher and Chester playing in regional championship games, speaks volumes how tough this conference is night in and night out.
