The Lawrenceville basketball Indians are still alive in their quest to capture the IHSA Class 1A State Championship.
The Tribe had to battle hard and survive slow down ball control tactics from the Casey-Westfield Warriors to win a low-scoring semi-final 30-29 at the Macon (Meridian) Sectional Wednesday night.
The Warriors led 9-6 after one quarter, the Indians were on top 10-9 at the half and the Warriors took back the lead 18-16 heading into the final quarter before the Indians were able to hit some free throws in the final moments with the lead and eventually run out the clock to improve to 32-2 on the season.
No one scored in double figures for the winners. Both seniors Zander Cessna and Jacek Mickiewicz had 8 points to lead the scoring.
The win was the 9th in a row for Lawrenceville and sends them to the sectional title game Friday at 7 p.m. against 24-10 Altamont in a battle of the Indians. The game can be heard on GIANT-FM 103.1 WAKO with Steve Anderson and Bill Richardson.
