Last night’s Circle City Conference game at The Nest helped to keep proving that the Golden Eagles are well into preparations for the sectional.
Guerin Catholic had a lead at halftime that they saw evaporate in the second half. The Golden Eagles took Roncalli to overtime to claim their second consecutive conference championship on their home floor, 41-37.
Guerin got up 14-7 in the first and the second was a similar, but lower scoring 9-6, giving GC a 23-13 halftime advantage.
The visiting Royals climbed right back into it in the second half. Roncalli overcame the 10-point halftime deficit, outscoring Guerin 22-12 in the second half, to force the extra period.
The Golden Eagles held Roncalli in check in the overtime, taking it 6-2 to hold on for the home victory.
Carter Murans was the lone double-digit scorer with 15 on 6-for-9 shooting. The trio of Andrew Reithman, Zach Tansel and Luke Keller each scored seven.
Guerin Catholic (17-5) has its final home game of the regular season on Saturday against North Central at 2:30 p.m.
