- Ben Cronin’s team fell in the state regional finals to Bishop Maginn. Cronin had a game high 17 points in the loss (box score).
- Stuart Douglass and Carmel lost in the regional finals 63-59 to Brownsburg. Stu had a rough shooting day going 6-20 for 16 points (box score/recap). It looks like it was a tough shooting night overall for Carmel and Brownsburg pulled off two upsets in one day.

After losing to Proctor six games in a row, Henninger’s fate looked bleak headed into today’s sectional final. The pre-game hype was evident with local Syracuse writers predicting an “instant classic“. Henninger’s only two losses this year were to Proctor but this time around Henninger got the last laugh with the 57-41 victory (as Tommy Amaker would say, it’s hard to beat a team three times). Cronin had 10 points and 16 rebounds for Henninger. Syracuse bound (football) Proctor star Deandre Preaster had a game high 21 points but it was not enough. It was definetely a big win for Henninger, and individually for Ben. In his interview after Henninger’s last win Cronin said that he wanted to play Proctor because he needed to beat them and he got it done. Congrats Ben, Henninger advanced to play in the regional finals next Saturday. Watch video of the game from WTVH here (Click ‘Watch the Story’).

Deandre Preaster had 22 points and 16 rebounds for the state-ranked No. 18 Raiders (10-1), who committed 28 turnovers - 11 in the first quarter and eight more in the fourth - but buckled down defensively and held University of Michigan recruit Ben Cronin, Henninger’s 7-foot-1 center, to 10 points and seven rebounds.

Here is a good report on Justin Watts from ‘alum_at_acc’ from the Rivals Message Boards:
Very impressed with his attitude and game. He plays on a good HS team and there are very few plays drawn up just for him. He plays within the system, making good passes, defending, rebounding, and getting back to stop fast breaks. He also showed some good leadership, making sure they were organized for inbound passes, etc. He was also the first player to run over to a fallen teammate.
He is 6′ 5″ and looks like Legion or Shepperd. He is strong and physically mature. He is a great athlete and plays like Harris, trying to get to the rim and finish there. He converted at least 2 ali-op baskets. He can make his own shot but he shoots from a relatively low position. Excellent free-throw shooter and he draws alot of fouls like Manny.
In the game I watched, they beat Durham Southern, a good team by about 10, something like 72 to 62. He had 26 points, about 8 rebounds, and maybe 3 assists. He is the 2nd tallest guy in their lineup and he mostly played the 3 postion.
Jordan Morgan’s U-D Jesuit team took a loss to Henry Ford 76-56. Morgan pulled down a game high seven rebounds.
Ben Cronin looks to be keeping up his solid play (video in link) in another Henninger win.
If Ben Cronin wants to repeat as MVP of the Mayor’s Roundball Tournament, he’s off to a good start. Cronin had 18 points, 21 rebounds and 8 blocks in Henninger’s 66-44 win over Corcoran in the semifinals.
Ben Cronin looks to have had a good game in another win for Henniger (7-0) and continues to keep up his solid play.
” The Orientals (6-1) rallied to take a one-point lead in the third quarter before Henninger’s Quantae Elijah connected on two key 3-pointers to give the Black Knights the lead for good. Henninger was led by Cronin’s 15 points, 21 rebounds and seven blocked shots. Blue tallied seven of his nine points in the final quarter, including going 5-for-6 from the foul line, to seal the victory.”
Enjoying its status as one of the last three unbeaten boys basketball teams in Central New York, Henninger (7-0) will seek to win the annual Mayor’s Roundball Classic title later this week at Le Moyne College. This tourney features the four city schools, with Henninger the defending tourney champion.
The Black Knights, led by the scoring of 7-foot Ben Cronin (18.7 ave.) and junior point guard Kihary Blue (13.3), will meet Corcoran (3-3) at 3 p.m. in one first round game, with Nottingham (3-3) playing Fowler (4-1) at 7 p.m. in the other tourney opener.
Stuart Douglass also looks to have been pretty steady for a very good Carmel team in an easy win over Ben Davis
