After furious Memphis comeback, CHSM holds on... Advances to gold ball

CHSM's Nathan Fontenot did it all in Tuesday's win

The CHSM Crimson Knights sprinted out to an early lead over Memphis Metro, leading 56-39 at one point in the third quarter.  Memphis staged a furious comeback and eventually reduced the deficit to 74-72.  But CHSM was able to make free throws and get enough stops late to advance to the Class 4A gold ball game Wednesday.

CHSM is a very deep team.  All of the players play with a purpose and share the ball.  Sophomore Nathan Fontenot led that charge Tuesday.  In addition to running the offense and regularly breaking down the Memphis Metro defense, he made the free throws that separated his Crimson Knights in the final seconds.
