Feb 18, 2014 at 11:58 pm by bryan


The District 7-Triple-A Tournament wrapped up last (Tuesday) night at Siegel with an upset in the championship game. WGNS' Bryan Barrett was there and recaps the action...

It's a three-peat for the Blackman boys. They handed Siegel their first loss of the year, 80-65, in the District 7-AAA boys championship game. The Blaze built an early lead behind hot shooting and a 1-3-1 zone defense that the Stars struggled against. It made their dribble penatration more difficult and Siegel struggled shooting from the outside. Lucas Hart led Blackman with 20, Isaiah Hart had 19 and Jauan Jennings 13. Siegel got 17 second half points from Charles Clark, 15 from Ryan Jones. It was Siegel's first loss of the year, now 26-and-1. Blackman improves to 21-and-5.
