Final in Class 3A:
Cathedral 73, Silver Creek 68
What a comeback by the Irish, who trailed by 8 at the end of the third quarter. The story of the night was Keaton Aldridge’s toughness. The senior Irish guard fought through injuries and lit up the scoreboard.

Halftime: Silver Creek 32, Cathedral 28
The game has lived up to expectations so far, with Silver Creek’s big men — led by Dane Caldwell with 19 points — throwing down some thunderous dunks. Keaton Aldridge has 15 for Cathedral.

We’re about 30 minutes out from tipoff here at the Class 3A semistate title game in Seymour. No. 1 Silver Creek takes on No. 3 Cathedral in what should be a fascinating clash of styles.
I’ll bring you periodic updates here with a full story for IndyStar to follow.

Final in Class 3A: Cathedral 85, Princeton Community 64
Excellent ball movement, shooting and defense carry the Fighting Irish into tonight’s semistate title game against Silver Creek at 8 p.m.
I’ll have a story up shortly recapping the two early games.
@indyhsscores
End 3Q: Cathedral 56, Princeton 43
Princeton chips into the Cathedral lead but still faces a tall task trailing by a baker’s dozen with one quarter to play.
@indyhsscores
Halftime: Cathedral 40, Princeton 22
The Irish utterly dominate a physically overwhelmed Princeton squad in the first half. Princeton doesn’t have the athleticism to handle Cathedral’s perimeter pressure and rebounding prowess.
@indyhsscores
End 1Q: Cathedral 21, Princeton 15
Princeton jumps in front early behind lethal 3-point from Zen Coomer, but Cathedral takes control by forcing turnovers and getting easy buckets.
@indyhsscores
Final in Class 3A: Silver Creek 67, Roncalli 44
Senior forward/center Dane Caldwell is too much of a force in carrying his team to the semistate nightcap at 8 p.m. this evening against the winner of Cathedral and Princeton.
@indyhsscores
End 3Q: Silver Creek 45, Roncalli 36
The Royals briefly trimmed the lead to 2 before the Dragons reasserted themselves with big buckets down low from Caldwell and Donovan Whitehead.
@indyhsscores
Halftime: Silver Creek 29, Roncalli 22
Dane Caldwell has led the way for the Dragons with 10 points, while teammate Kasen Daeger has 6.
Will Hegwood and Caleb Maurer have mostly carried the scoring load for the Royals.
@indyhsscores
Roncalli will need to better contain the 6-10 Caldwell in the second half if it hopes to advance.
Silver Creek will want to shore up its defense after a solid defensive first quarter, but just an OK second quarter that’s allowed Roncalli to hang around.
