Norfolk Christian will
go for their second straight TCIS championship on Saturday after
beating Bishop Sullivan 62-42 in semi-final action on Thursday. Junior
James McAdoo led the Ambassodores with 25 points and sophomore
Mario Nixon
added 13 for Norfolk Christian who are rated the #1
private school team by Virginiapreps.Rivals.Com
Bishop Sullivan kept the margin
under 10 for most of the first half but a breakaway dunk by McAdoo keyed a
Norfolk Christian run that extended an eight-point halftime to 16 heading into
the final period.
Peter Mcabe led Bishop Sullivan with nine
points while sophomore Marcus Burwell and Pat
Rice
both added eight. The Crusaders are still
expected to make the state tournament which begins next week.
In the second semi-final game, Cape Henry avenged a
buzer-beating loss to Norfolk Academy earlier this month with a 52-36 win. The
Dolphins held Norfolk Academy scoreless for the first five minutes of the
third quarter and they limited the Bulldogs to only three points in the third
quarter. George Radford scored 18 points--all on 3-pointers and
Terrell Allen added 14 points and 10 rebounds.

recruit D.J Covington led Norfolk Academy with 19
