In 1993, a local Chicago reporter covering the St. Patrick's Day parade spotted Tommy Lee Jones filming a movie amidst the festivities and stopped him for a quick interview. The movie was THE FUGITIVE 🔥

I haven't seen anyone named Duke take such a hard and shocking fall since these guys tried to corner the frozen orange juice market in the early 1980s.

A memorable matchup for the Division 7 title saw Ohio's career-scoring leader try his best to give Cornerstone Christian the crown, but undefeated Russia would cap off the program's 1st-ever championship season with a 74-57 victory at UD Arena in Dayton.

The Raiders (29-0) have been building up to this season with 11 senior members of the roster making their 3rd consecutive Final Four appearance. They looked like the more complete team in the opening minutes by building a 20-14 cushion heading into the second quarter, but that's when Quinn Kwasniak began to take matters into his own hands. The Army commit put up 15 of his game-high 38 points in the frame, cashing in a pair of logo 3-pointers that fueled the Patriots (21-9) crowd and dazzled everyone else in attendance. CCA would trim the deficit to 38-34 by the halftime break but failed to keep momentum out of the locker room.

A big 3rd quarter from Braylon Cordonnier, where he scored 10 of his team-best 21 points, helped the Raiders create some separation on the scoreboard heading into the final stanza. On the strength of a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter, Russia would put the game away with three players finishing the night with 14+ points. An emotional crowd watched as the final seconds fell off the clock, ensuring the Raiders a perfect season in dominating fashion.

The win is the 1,000th in program history for Russia, who have accumulated an impressive 81-6 overall record over the last 3 seasons.

Kwasniak finished his career with a state record 3,341 points.
