40-37.
364 days after Benedictine had defeated Savannah 61-50 and nearly a month after Savannah had defeated Benedictine 83-21, Cannon beats Savannah High School in the last game he will ever coach against them. Luke finishes with a 2-2 record against Benedictine. Savannah High advanced to the elite 8 in AAAAA later in the year. Casey Mitchell, Joe Fincher, Luke Tambon, and Kevin Parker, all starters for the Blue Jackets, would go on to play college ball. No one on the Benedictine team would make a college team, but Hinchey is still enjoying Costa Rica.
5 things I remember:
1: The feeling I had when Orie Williams missed that 3 as time expired
2: Half court before the game and talking to Tim Jordan as their band played Outkast
3: Sitting with Kieffer, Coach Cannon, and Phoenix in the locker room after the game. By the time we came out, the lights in the gym were already turned off.
4: Jack and maybe Keenan singing the fight song on the phone.
5: Hinchey's 17 rebounds
