LEXINGTON — Vince Dawson had 18 points and nine rebounds, leading No. 1 Great Crossing to an 83-48 quarterfinal victory over Magoffin County on Friday at the UK Healthcare Sweet 16 at Rupp Arena.

Walker Russell and Ethan Salyer scored 12 points apiece for the Hornets (22-14), who trailed 55-25 at halftime.

The Warhawks (36-1), who have not lost an in-state game all season, also got 16 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks from Malachi Moreno.

“Morgan & Morgan, they’re a big sponsor of the tournament. When I looked up at Moreno, I believe I hurt my neck,” Hornets coach Scott Castle joked. “I may reach out to them and see if there’s a lawsuit there. But what an experience; it’s great for these kids.”

Great Crossing took a 13-3 lead in the first quarter.

A 10-0 run, punctuated by an alley-oop from Junius Burrell (12 points, six rebounds, six assists) to Jeremiah Godfrey (six points, three rebounds) highlighted just how dangerous state-title favorite Great Crossing is over the field.

“We were a lot more comfortable out on the floor today,” Warhawks coach Steve Page said.

Page took Moreno and the rest of his starters out midway through the third quarter, giving them maximum rest ahead of a semifinal matchup at 11 a.m. Saturday against Lyon County.

Lyon County 80, Adair County 65

A dominant third quarter and Brady Shoulders’ herculean double-double effort (18 points and 13 rebounds) led Lyon County to its first semifinal appearance in program history after the No. 4 Lyons beat Adair County.

“We were having breakfast this morning, and there was a coach there that’s won a couple of state championships,” Lyons coach Ryan Perry said, who called Shoulders a “man amongst young men.”

The state champion coach called Perry over and told him “ ‘nobody in the state has a Brady Shoulders on their team out there today.’ It really sunk in because he is such a good player, he’s so physical, gifted. We made a point to let him know that that coach spoke that way about him and what he thought he could do.”

Bray Kirk (18 points and nine rebounds), a sophomore guard who is the youngest starter on the team, sparked an 11-0 run to help the Lyons grab a 41-20 lead early in the third quarter. The run was highlighted by a behind-the-back pass from Jack Reddick to Shoulders.

Kirk played like “he was shot out of a cannon” and his third-quarter play was elite, his coach said.

“It means a lot coming from a coach that’s seen the best talent in the country," Kirk said about Perry’s compliments. “It means a lot for him to believe in me like that.”

Kirk had nine points and four rebounds during the run. Lyon County outscored the Indians in the third quarter, 26-12. The Lyons led by as many as 26 points during the fourth quarter.

Kentucky Mr. Basketball Travis Perry led all scorers with 21 points and four assists. Adair County was led by Connor Loy’s 14 points, six rebounds and eight assists.

Harlan County 85, Campbell County 71

No. 12 Harlan County overcame a 16-point deficit and defeated Campbell County in the first overtime game of the tournament.

The Black Bears (33-4) will play Evangel Christian in the state semifinals at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

South Carolina signee Trent Noah scored a game-high 48 points in the victory. Noah's point total is the fourth best in tournament history. Only Kelly Coleman (68 points and 50 points) and Richie Farmer (51 points) scored more. Maddox Huff added 22 for Harlan County.

“I can’t even describe it,” Black Bears coach Kyle Jones said. “We were down with about three minutes to go. These guys said, ‘Look, we’re good, just keep chipping away. They may get a little tight once the momentum swings.’”

The Black Bears outscored the Camels in the fourth quarter, 25-14.

Junior Garyn Jackson and senior Nathan Smith combined to score 28 points for the Camels (27-7). Broc Sorgenfrei scored a team-high 17 points.

Noah, a 6-foot-6 senior guard, slowed Jackson, and the Black Bears continued to chip away.

Noah hit a 3-pointer with six seconds to go to tie the game at 69.

“I don’t even remember, to be honest,” Noah said about his clutch shot from the KHSAA Sweet 16 logo. “I just turned around, Maddox threw it to me, I put it up and I (saw) it go in. It was a spectacular feeling, for sure.”

Sorgenfrei and Noah each had a chance to hit the game-winner in regulation, but the game went to overtime.

The Black Bears made 11 free throws in the extra period.
