Seven more Chagrin Valley Conference teams kept alive their postseason runs with wins on Friday night.
Chagrin Falls downed visiting Wickliffe in one of three All-CVC sectional finals on Friday night, 65-9.
“Tonight was a great team win,” said Chagrin Falls coach Dave Bargar. “We had a lot of contributions from several players that contributed to our victory. We did a great job defensively holding them to only two points in the first and fourth quarters. Our guys were very active on that end of the floor and didn’t let them get many open looks.”
The Tigers scored 33 points in the transition game.
“We did a great job of running the floor and finding the open man,” Bargar said. “We certainly are a better offensive team when we run like we did tonight.”
James Kosmides and Ryan Curtiss both recorded double-doubles in the game with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Kosmides also posted five blocks in the win.
Max Crandall also scored in double figures with 11 points, and he added six assists. Spencer Kaas added four assists.
“Tournament basketball is a different feel,” Bargar said. “It is great that we came out and played well tonight and were able to advance to the districts. We’re looking forward to the challenge of playing Cardinal Mooney on Tuesday.”
The eighth-seeded Tigers advanced to play No. 5 Cardinal Mooney on Tuesday at Salem High School.
Cuyahoga Heights 44, Akron Manchester 34
The No. 2 seed Cuyahoga Heights played stingy defense in knocking off the Panthers to set a new school record with 20 wins in a single season. The Red Wolves beat the previous record of 19 wins set by the 1996-97 squad. Cade Davies led the way with 19 points and Braylan McClardy pitched in with 13.
Cuyahoga Heights will play No. 7 Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas on Tuesday at Gilmour.
