In a 3A contest, No. 2 Heritage Hills took down No. 6 Evansville Bosse in a great postseason game.

Julian Norris and Blake Sisley traded baskets for the first 13 points of the game. Norris made two mid-range shots and one just inside the three-point line. Sisley drilled a three from right of the key. Kolten Sanford was the first player not named Norris or Sisley to score. That was nearly six minutes into the game.

After a slow start, Simon Scherry found his stride late in the second quarter. He was able to get a free throw then knocked down two shots in a row, including a three. He scored the first bucket of the second half for Heritage Hills as well.

Xavier Burton scored twice early in the quarter for Bosse, but the Patriots shut Bosse down after that. HH scored the final nine points of the third to take a 10-point lead into the fourth.

Early in the fourth, Sanford ended the run with a bucket for Bosse. Moments later, Norris scored to make it a six-point game. That’s where the game stood until Scherry buried a three-pointer to push the Heritage Hills lead back to nine points. Bosse was able to bounce back. Norris scored again with under two minutes to five points. With under a minute to play, Norris scored to make it a four-point game.

That’s the closest that Bosse would make it. Sisley scored the final three points of the game for the final of 54-47.
