Daviess County had to sweat it some before holding off Owensboro Catholic 62-57 in a highly competitive boys’ basketball game Friday night at the DCHS gym.
DC played through six ties and six lead changes, and the Panthers didn’t grab their first lead of the game until a Jonathan Moss 3-pointer put them up 34-33 with 5:32 left in the third quarter.
Moss put together one of his finest individual performances of the season with a game-high 32 points. Moss hit that point total on 11-of-16 shooting from the floor, including 6-of-7 3-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws. He made moves to take over in the third quarter with 11 points.
DeAaron Watkins provided support with 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting, six rebounds and three blocked shots, including one in the final seconds.
Mike Acton added 10 points for the Panthers.
No. 4 Daviess County went to 22-4 on the season.
“I thought we were better in the third quarter,” DC coach Neil Hayden said. “As good as J was we weren’t finding him enough. He only missed one 3 so we were trying to find him more. We went about four minutes in the second quarter where he didn’t shoot, so we kind of adjusted our movement. We were much better than the third quarter and he got more space. They put a lot of pressure on us, but I thought our guys stayed composed and figured out how to win a game like that.”
DC was 23-of-45 from the floor for 51% and 9-of-20 from 3-point range for 45%.
Catholic’s Dre’Mail Carothers also looked to score and put up 29 points, hitting five 3-pointers and also taking the ball to the basket more in the second half.
Carothers’ last 3 of the game tied it at 55-55 with 3:10 left in regulation.
Jake Murphy added 11 points as the other double-figure scorer for Catholic. Dylan Hagan added nine points.
“I thought we were good,” Catholic coach Tabor Shadowen said. “I thought we could run some things through Dre’Mail. What Dre’Mail did tonight is what we’ve been waiting on from him, and he showing some good things hopefully at the right time of the year.
“I’m really proud of the fight we showed.”
Catholic hit 21-of-51 shots from the floor for 41.2%, including 8-of-18 from 3-point range for 44.4%.
Owensboro Catholic went to 13-11 on the year. The Aces go to Ohio County on Monday.
Daviess County will host Logan County on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Panthers host a major 3rd Region showdown with Grayson County on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the DCHS gym.
