Pacelli
It’s been a week of madness for Pacelli as just last Monday the Cardinals won on a buzzer beater, only to replicate that chaos again this Monday. Tied at 46, Bryce Flaker took a handoff, jabbed, and buried a 25-foot three-point shot at the buzzer to give Pacelli a 49-46 win over Tri-County, a game that has huge implications on conference standings and possible playoff seeding.

Berlin was tied with Adams-Friendship at one game back of Mauston in the South Central standings coming into this win. Redington made sure the Indians stayed one game back of Mauston following Monday night. The senior big man finished with 32 points on 11 of 16 shooting from the floor as Berlin won 60-50 over the Green Devils. Redington added nine points, four assists, two blocks, and two steals to fill the stat sheet.
