I unfortunately didn't make the game today because I'm not feeling well, but Batavia just beat Freddie Thomas 65-45 to win the Section 5 Class A2 title.
The Blue Devils had a lot of haters this season as people didn't think Batavia had enough size, but this is the first sectional championship team for the program since Michael Chmielowiec's senior year.
Andrew Hoy was shut down in the first half, but blew up for 21 points in the second half. He scored all of his points from beyond the 3-point line. This follows his 27 point performance against Geneva. He's having an amazing post season.
Marcus Hoy had 15 points and did a great job of leading the team on the floor and Dakota Irvin pitched in 11 points.
The sectional title is the potential tip of the iceberg as the Blue Devils play either Newark or Sutherland in the crossover game before the Far West Regionals. Hopefully I'll be over this bug and be at that game.
Chmielowiec led his team to the state semifinals and now this team can look to get to that point or beyond.
Irvin and Andrew Hoy made the all-tournament team with Marcus Hoy winning the MVP.
Way to Go Batavia! What a
Way to Go Batavia! What a winter season for Batavia High School Sports, we should be proud of all of our teams!
