Chambersburg 76, Red Land 69: The Trojans spread the wealth on offense and scored enough points to hold off the Patriots in a first-round game of the West York Holiday Invitational on Thursday night in York.
Chambersburg (5-2), which snapped a two-game losing skid, will face either host West York or Governor Mifflin in the final Friday afternoon at 3:30. Red Land (7-3) will play the loser of the other first-round game.
"I would imagine it was a fun game to watch," Trojan coach Shawn Shreffler said. "Our pace was really good and we shared the ball, which led to an extremely balanced and efficient effort.
"We played a really solid first half, but an even better second half. Red Land is a very good basketball team and we got a great effort from them."
The top scorer for Chambersburg was sophomore Grayson Kegerreis, who erupted for a career-high 19 points — his previous high had been 4 points. Kegerreis bombed in four 3-pointers.
Jermere Jones was next with 18 points, while Colton Cornwell (also 4 threes) and J.J. Kelly each contributed 14 points.
Shreffler said, "Our inexperienced players are coming along and we're developing more depth throughout the lineup. Getting stops defensively continues to be a point of emphasis."
The Patriots also put 4 players in double figures — Colton Rose (20 points), Tyler Kerlin (17), Anderson French (13) and Elijah Espnosa (10).
