Catholic overcomes Hahnville in final minute, 54-51

METAIRIE – Catholic High advanced to the semifinals of the Country Day Classic with a hard-fought 54-51 victory Tuesday afternoon over Hahnville.

In a game where there was just one tie, Hahnville never led until there were 56 seconds in the contest when Cobe Landry nailed a jumper to give the Tigers a 51-50 lead.

The Bears then calmly connected on four consecutive free throws to seal the deal.

First, Will Sterling hit a pair of free throws with 43.2 seconds left to make it 52-51 and Dennis Hebert hit a pair of free throws with 13.3 seconds left. A long 3-point attempt as time expired was off the mark for Hahnville, giving Catholic the win.

Catholic grabbed a 13-6 lead after one quarter on the strength of a pair of 3-pointers by Stan Levy. The Bears led 31-24 at halftime and maintained a 42-38 advantage going to the final quarter.

Hebert led Catholic with 16 points, including 14 in the second half, while Stan Levy finished with nine points and Sterling had seven.

Da’Quon Price had 15 points and nine rebounds to lead Hahnville (9-6). Ahmad Simmons had 10 points and six rebounds. Hahnville committed 16 turnovers.

Catholic (9-2) has now won six straight games and advances to the semifinals to face either Country Day or Jesuit Wednesday.
