Sesser-Valier….. Z-R Regional Champs!!!!!!!!

ZEIGLER –  The Sesser-Valier Red Devils punch their ticket to head to the Hardin County sectional as they defeated the Woodlawn Cardinals in a more than packed house at Art Brandon Gym tonight.

Preston Launius hit a game tying three with less than :02 on the clock at the end of regulation to tie it at 41.

Lukas Gunter had a game high 19 for the Devils, Tyler Winchester, 13 and Launius added 10.

For Woodlawn Chase Hollenkamp had 14.  Something that jumps out at me, Blake McKay was held to 13 and Race Rynski added 10.

Woodlawn ends the 2017-18 campaign with a record of 21-9.

Sesser-Valier improves to 20-11 on the season.  They face the Cairo Pilots, 58-42 winners over the hosts at the Gallatin County Pilots.  Game time is Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.

Sesser-Valier defeats Thompsonville to earn right to the Z-R Regional championship game

ZEIGLER –  Tyler Winchester popped five three pointers in the first ten minutes of the game, scoring a game high 19 points, as Sesser Valier beat Thompsonville 50-44 last night at the Zeigler-Royalton Class 1A Regional.

Sesser-Valier improves to 19-11 on the season, and advances to the championship game to face the Woodlawn Cardinals, winners over the Steeleville, 66-58 last night.

Lukas Gunter also added 15 points, and Peyton Rock added 10.

The game had a lot of media coverage last night.  Below are links to stories from Geary Dentison of the Southern and Jack Bullock of A Baseline View.  A box score is included in both stories.

I do not believe in redundancy.   I am going to take a different approach.  I will be sharing my take shortly.
