Nine first-quarter three-pointers was a sign of things to come between Penn and Northridge in the Michigan City Regional championship game. The offenses clicked at a highly efficient level from start to finish, and it was a great finish.

He’s known as a shooter, but Ludwick scored off the dribble against Northridge. Noah Applegate was a steady force from beginning to end for Penn. He scored 13 in the first half. Northridge used a balanced attack led by Carter Stoltzfus to keep stride with the Kingsmen.

It looked like Penn had a chance to open the game after two free throws from Lutz pushed the Kingsmen ahead 65-60. Erekson answered with a deep three-pointer to keep Northridge In the game.

 

After a Penn turnover, Alex Stauffer tied up the game at 65. Stauffer stepped up late for Northridge. He scored seven of his 14 in the final quarter. His biggest shot came with Northridge down three. Stauffer set a pick and popped to the three-point line. After letting a defender fly by, Stauffer made the three to tie the game with 17.3 seconds left.

 

With the game tied, Lutz took the ball the length of the court, set up his defender, and drove to the basket. He avoided a help-side defender to score in the lane. It put Penn up two, and Northridge called for time with 5.4 left.

 

Down two and the length of the court to go, Northridge inbounded to Erekson on the move. He pushed the ball up the right side but couldn’t get space for a shot. He passed to Sam Vogt who launched a deep three at the buzzer. It was off the mark.
