discipline. region.
Two words that could pose problems for Totino Grace.
Senior Isaiah Johnson-Arrigo used his experience to save the Eagles on Wednesday. The 6-7 forward scored seven points and had an assist, sparking a late 11-point run over seven minutes as the two-time state champion Eagles beat Stewartville 57-48 in the Class 3A quarterfinals at Williams Arena. .
“Once things settled down, I focused on winning,” said Johnson-Arrigo, who finished with 13 points, including 11 in the second half. “It was our first game. We had to get used to the pressure.”
The top-ranked Eagles (25-5) trailed 42-39 when junior goaltender Chase Whatley scored on a corner kick with just over eight minutes left in the game. Johnson-Arrigo, a first-team All-Metro selection who signed with Miami (Fla.), took over from that point on, scoring on an offensive rebound and a fast layup, passing to Dothan Ejadembola for a layup and a free layup. Throwing before ending the run by throwing the ball again.
“Our defense turned into offense,” Eagles coach Nick Carroll said. “We wanted to make the game faster.”
Totino-Grace's defense held the Tigers (26-4) without a field goal for nearly 10 minutes, from 11:02 remaining to 1:28 left.
“We hit a slump,” said Stewartville senior guard Henry Tschetter, who scored 15 points and is the only Tigers player in double figures. “We didn't move the ball like we did the whole game.”
The Tigers, ranked third in the state, used a well-executed game plan, a disciplined offensive attack and three defenses, to open a 41-36 lead on Tschetter's layup with 11:02 remaining. They alternated between a 2-3 boxed area, a 3-2 zone and a man-to-man defence.
“We were confused,” Johnson Arrigo said. “We got used to it during the game.”
Watley added 13 points and junior forward Tyler Wagner scored 12 points for the Eagles. Wagner scored his final eight points in the first half, finishing off the game with a stunning shot after a pass from Ejadimbula.
“These guys have been through the ringer,” Carroll said. “I don't care if we score eight or 85 points, a win is a win.”
