The final championship game of the tournament is the Devonte Graham Bracket final between Farmville Central and Don Bosco at 8 p.m.
How they got here
Farmville Central opened up its Holiday Invitational run with a 15-point win over Holly Springs. In the victory, the Panthers were led by Jah Short, who tallied 31 points and hauled in seven rebounds. After leading by one point at the break, Farmville Central turned up its ball pressure in the final two periods of play to cruise to a double-digit win. Farmville replayed a similar script in its 76-64 win over Millbrook in the semifinals. The Panthers had four players reach double figures, and in the second half, forced the Wildcats into bad turnovers to help prevail into the title.
For Don Bosco, the Ironmen exploded for a 22-point win over Garner to kickstart their tournament run. Dylan Harper introduced himself to the tournament Tuesday, lighting up the Trojans for 24 points on near 70 percent shooting from the field. The Ironmen’s semifinal win came over nationally-ranked Centennial in thrilling fashion, 65-63. Harper and Isaiah Brown combined for 50 points, as both guards were effective behind the arc and at the rim.
