Greencastle ousted from sectional play Tuesday by Parke Heritage

Coaches will say that "you have to play 32 minutes of basketball" to winin the postseason.  If there's a few minutes that a team doesn't play well, doesn't execute, it can spell doom for the season.

 

That stretch of time was in the second quarter for Greencastle in Tuesday's quarterfinal loss at the Southmont Sectional to Parke Heritage, 60-41.

 

The Wolves outscored the Tiger Cubs 19-4 in the period to capture a nine-point halftime lead, 28-19.  

 

Greencastle (7-17) rallied to get as close as three in the third quarter but another Parke Heritage run closed the quarter with the Wolves up ten going to the fourth.

 

Parke Heritage (16-9) was led by sophomore BT Luce.  Luce scored 18 points and connected on 4-for-9 3-pt field goals. Freshman Treigh Schelsky added 15.

 

Greencastle freshman guard Sam Gooch topped the Tiger Cubs with 16.  Senior Cole Hutcheson finished with eight.

 

Parke Heritage will play South Putnam in a Friday semifinal. 

 

The other semifinal is to be determined tonight with Wednesday quarterfinals.  The 6 p.m. tip features North Putnam vs defending sectional champion Southmont.  The second quarterfinal has Cloverdale playing Riverton Parke.
