GREENFIELD REGIONAL: Hot start by Scecina too much for Cloverdale to overcome in regional final
(High School Sports ~ 03/12/18)
GREENFIELD — With Indianapolis Scecina shooting less than 30 percent as a team from 3-point range, Cloverdale coach Patrick Rady sent his squad into a 3-2 zone defense to start Saturday night’s Greenfield-Central Regional championship. Sometimes even the most statistically logical methods don’t work, as the Crusaders came out firing — hitting three treys in the first 3:53 of the game. Scecina extended its lead to 16 points at halftime and 18 in the middle of the third quarter before the Clovers came back strongly, pulling within two points in the final period before eventually losing 58-52.
