Colonel Crawford's depth delivers in district final over Patrick Henry @colonelcrawford @ph_patriots1 @22bholt22 @houseofpayne_34 @johndegray44 @CoachSheldon_CC mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/sports/h… via @MansfieldNJ

Getting set for tip off here at Willard HS as Colonel Crawford takes on Patrick Henry in a D6 district final

Final: Colonel Crawford - 68 Patrick Henry - 55 CC will move on to the regional semifinals where they’ll square off with the winner of Van Buren/Seneca East. Brayden Holt led all scorers with 28 points while Creager and Hieber combined for 46 of the PH 55.

FINAL: @colonelcrawford 68, @ph_patriots1 55 Shame this had to be a district championship when both of these teams should be in regionals. @22bholt22 led with 28 pts, 10 pts; @houseofpayne_34 16 pts, 10 reb; @johndegray44 13 pts, 5 reb. Creager 24 pts; Heiber 21 pts.

It was a full circle moment for Wynford's Caroline Sheldon, who was a ballgirl for the Royals the last time they were in a district championship game. Now a junior, she led her team back. mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/sports/h…

Caroline Sheldon stuffed the stat sheet in Wynford’s 54–29 win over Buckeye Central, pouring in a game-high 18 points, knocking down multiple threes, and swiping at least six steals. After a slow 1–1 opening, Wynford flipped the switch and ripped off a 33–10 run the rest of the first half, turning defensive pressure into easy transition buckets. It also sealed a 3–0 season sweep over Buckeye Central. This team has shooters everywhere — four players entered with 20+ made threes — which keeps the floor spaced and opens up the inside game. After starting the year 2–2 and battling an early-season injury to Brooke, Wynford now sits at 19–5 and is headed to the district final at Fremont Ross to face Margaretta.

My story from Friday night's N10 championship for Colonel Crawford. crawfordcountynow.com/sports/colonel…

Final: Colonel Crawford 77, Carey 51. Holt 32, P. DeGray 20 in 3 quarters. Eagles are outright N10 champs.

The Colonel Crawford boys' basketball team is coming off the program's most successful season in history, with expectations for an encore performance with the majority of their roster still intact. The Eagles have followed up their first-ever State appearance with a 17-1 start, and an opportunity to clinch a third consecutive Northern 10 Conference championship. Leading the way during CC's recent stretch of dominance is senior PG Brayden Holt, who will likely win N10 Player of the Year for a second consecutive season. Take a trip 'Around the Arena' with the Eagles star guard, as coach Joe Balogh gets Brayden to open up about his offseason injury, adjustment as a transfer student, playing with expectations, and personal anecdotes about his life as a hooper.

Congrats @houseofpayne_34 and his C.C. teammates on becoming the 13th player is school history to reach the 1000 point career milestone. Payne epitomizes old school basketball player in an era now of the 3 point shot. #winningisanattitude
