Crescent City Sports to live stream St. Martin’s-Country Day girls basketball playoff game Thursday

Crescent City Sports’ extensive live streaming coverage of high school sports for 2019-20 continues Thursday with a Division IV girls basketball quarterfinal matchup between longtime rivals St. Martin’s and Country Day.

CCS’ coverage of the District 9-1A matchup between the sixth-seeded Saints (19-10) and No. 3 seed Cajuns (15-4) will begin just before the 5 p.m. tipoff. Ken Trahan and Bill Gallagher will describe the action.

Country Day moved on to the quarterfinals with a 65-50 victory over St. John on Feb. 19, while St. Martin’s advanced with a dramatic 56-55 win over St. Edmund at home on Monday.

The teams split a pair of regular-season district matchups, with each winning at home. Country Day won 49-39 on Jan. 14 while St. Martin’s evened the series with a 52-42 victory on Jan. 31 – coincidentally, each school’s only loss to a Class 1A school the entire year.

Thursday’s third meeting will send the winner to the Division IV semifinals against either Vermilion Catholic or St. Mary’s. Country Day reached the semis last year in Division III.

The Crescent City Sports team has produced more than 300 live streams since 2012 and will feature live streaming of no fewer than 30 high school sporting events throughout the 2019-20 school year. Additionally, in cooperation with Cox Sports Television, CCS will also produce up to 10 more events that will both be televised on CST and streamed on the site.
