Edinburgh boys upset in sectional semifinal

<p>CAMPBELLSBURG</p><p>When Edinburgh’s Caleb Dewey knocked down a game-tying 3-pointer with two minutes remaining in Friday night’s Class A sectional semifinal, few would have guessed that would end up being the Lancers’ final basket of the season.</p><p>But cold shooting doomed Edinburgh in the fourth quarter and Trinity Lutheran scored the game’s last nine points to snatch a 72-63 upset win at West Washington.</p><p>The Lancers (18-6) hit just three of 16 shots from the field in the last eight minutes.</p><p>&quot;We had our looks; we had our shots,&quot; Edinburgh coach Keith Witty said, &quot;and we didn’t make our shots.&quot;</p><p>On the strength of a dominating second quarter, the Lancers led by eight at halftime and remained on top through three, 52-43. But the Cougars owned the fourth, outscoring Edinburgh by a 29-11 margin.</p><p>For the Lancers, who only turned the ball over five times all game, it really was as simple as shots not falling when they had to.</p><p>&quot;We did a good job for three and a half quarters,&quot; Witty said.</p><p>Trinity Lutheran coach Ryan Crasc felt that switching to a 1-3-1 trap defense in the fourth enabled his team to speed the Lancers up and create some transition opportunities.</p><p>Edinburgh — which enjoyed the biggest season-to-season turnaround of any boys team in the state this year — was led by 17 points and 11 rebounds from Travis Jones. Dewey added 14 points, followed by Noah Detling with 12, Isaac Roberts with nine and Landen Burton with seven.</p>
