The action was fast and physical, both teams leaving it all on the floor despite having less than 24 hours recovery after hard-fought Friday night contests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2A fourth-ranked Knights (17-4) threatened to run away with it early over the 3A fifth-ranked Braves (18-4). Danny Kelly hit three-pointers the first three times he shot in the first quarter, staking the Knights to a 9-1 lead at the 5:37 mark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that was just the beginning of their long-range assault. Less than a minute after Kelly\u2019s streak, Dereon Truesdale buried a trey from the left wing to make it 12-1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheumann countered with the first of his four three-pointers on the day, and Dylan Velez followed with a fast break layup to cut the lead to 12-6.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheOakRoomBeautyLounge\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Oak-Room-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the next two minutes the Knights\u2019 Carmani Davis and Drelyn Truesdale hit threes\u2014interrupted by another one from Scheumann\u2014to make Luers six-for-six from outside the arc and give the visitors a 20-9 advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bellmont coach Payton Selking had told his players in the pregame to protect against the drive by the lightning-quick Knights and make them show they can hit from outside. He started to question his own advice during the Knights\u2019 hot streak. \u201cThey hit the first two and I thought \u2018Oh boy, here we go.\u2019 Then they hit four more and I thought \u2018OK, maybe they shoot it better than we originally thought.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2024-02-17T212311Z.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Coach Selking discusses the game with the Z Team. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Braves couldn\u2019t catch a break.

The Braves reversed the momentum with a 9-0 run to start the second quarter. Scheumann bookended the run with two pairs of free throws. Velez (short jumper) and Kord Fuelling (a three from the left corner) provided the points in between. Scheumann scored nine more points in the period, two coming on a spectacular spin and drive at the 4:39 mark, as the Braves won the quarter 18-8 to pull within three at 32-29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355.jpeg?resize=640%2C408&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C652&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C191&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C489&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C978&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1305&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2355-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jack Scheumann spins into the lane for another bucket Saturday.

The crucial sequence in the rally came when the Knights\u2019 full-court press forced two Bellmont turnovers within six seconds, each one resulting in a Luers layup. Wesley Javins, who led Bishop Luers with 16 points, added three inside buckets late in the period to help the Knights stretch the lead to 51-43.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zach Calderon hit a deep three 20 seconds into the fourth quarter to put the Knights up by eleven, but then the Braves went on a 15-6 run to make it 60-58 with 2:01 left.

But that\u2019s what we signed up for. These are the type of games that make you better. These are the type of games that get you ready for a tournament run. I was proud of our toughness, our resiliency after a tough first quarter. I thought we learned a lot about ourselves today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bishop Luers coach Seth Coffing praised the Braves. \u201cBellmont is having a heck of a year,\u201d he said. \u201cCoach Selking is doing a great job with them. They\u2019re playing really well together. They have seniors who have been playing together a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2024-02-Luerscoach.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bishop Luers head coach Seth Coffing spoke with WZBD&#8217;s Randy Hisner after the Knights&#8217; victory Saturday. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, he liked his own team\u2019s performance too. \u201cIt was really gritty,\u201d he said. \u201cI thought our guys overcame a lot\u2014foul trouble, maybe a few not very smart plays.
