Campbell County has claimed the last seven 37th District championships, but Scott won the regular-season game between the two teams, 67-65, to earn the top seed in this year’s playoffs.
The Eagles had three double-figure scorers in Monday’s win. Junior center Cameron Patterson led the way with 14 points, followed by sophomore guard Dasani Lane with 13 and senior guard Grant Profitt with 12.
Scott ran off 14 straight points during the first and second quarters to open up a 17-7 lead, but Brossart cut the margin to 21-18 by halftime.
The Eagles pulled away again with a 15-3 spurt in the third and fourth quarters and took a 36-21 lead on a basket by Patterson with less than six minutes left on the clock. They scored 11 of their final 15 points at the free throw line.
The only double-figure scorer for Brossart (13-11) was senior guard Carson Schirmer with 12 points. The Mustangs finished with their lowest point total since a 61-29 loss to Highlands on Dec. 17, 2017.
Campbell County defeated Calvary Christian, 50-31, in the other 37th District semifinal game on Monday. The Camels have four players who finished the regular season with a double-figure scoring average.
