Mahon, Kerwin Lead Ridge Past Union

The Ridge High School boys varsity basketball team played host to Union in the semi-final game of the annual Len Sepanak Holiday Tournament Wednesday night.  Ridge held Union to only three points in the second quarter and scored 19 in the third to power into the finals.

IN SHORT

Ridge got three 3-pointers and 11 points from Dillon Mahon and Dylan Kerwin to lead the squad in the victory. The 19-point third quarter was driven by the outside shooting helping to open up the lane for some easy buckets.

COACH'S TAKE

"Our defense in the first half was phenomenal. We held them to zero offensive rebounds and that was one of the keys going in. We shot the ball better than the last couple games. We lost focus a little in the second half.  We had to regroup, but I though the last four minutes we closed it out well. The first half set the tone of the game with the defense." — Ridge head coach Brian Feath 

THEY SAID IT

"We have been going through some growing pains with the new coach and the new system. I think we are just hitting our stride and I think we can improve more, maybe just scratching the surface of what we can do. We are going to the championship game and that is good for us. We are excited. We are a guard oriented team and we will be shooting a lot of 3's. Once we fully understand the system, and when we can drive, and when we need to shoot from the outside, you are going to see a lot more offense." — Dylan Kerwin

UP NEXT — Ridge will host the Len Sepanak Tournament Championship game against Roselle Catholic on Friday, 7:30 p.m.
