2017 ACEL STATE CHAMPS

By

The Shreveport Force Varsity Basketball team did it! They capped off a perfect season last Friday Night with a victory in the ACEL State Championship game vs Lighthouse Christian Preparatory.
 
To reach the championship game Saturday, the Shreveport Force Basketball team took care of business Friday night by beating the other team in the ACEL with a perfect record, the Faith Training Patriots. Faith Training and the Force played in last season’s championship game with Faith Training getting the better of the Force. Not this year, the Force would get revenge and would not be denied another shot at bringing home the title as they knocked off a great team 57-52. 

Saturday’s championship game had everything you needed for a great championship. Two evenly matched teams, featuring the #1 and #2 ranked teams, it also featured 4 first team all-state players, and a handful of all division players and two teams who were denied a chance at a championship the year before. The game went back and forth, Shreveport’s biggest lead was 10 in the first half. But Lighthouse rallied back in the 3rd quarter to take a 5 point lead heading into the 4th quarter.

The Force remained calm and poised down the stretch knocking down some key shots and getting some big stops on the defensive end to earn the victory.

Of those big shots were key 3’s by Aaron Alexander, Cameron Shaw, and a 3 when the Force was down 2 points, 60-62, to gain and keep the lead with 40 sec remaining by Drew Merrow. On the next possession the Force defense held strong and created a turnover with 8 secs to go. Up 1 with the ball, senior and leader Cade Shaw asked for the ball. Cade was fouled and calmly stepped to the line and sunk 2 free throws, who finished 22-29 from the FT line, to give the Force a 3 point lead 65-62. The next possession the Force defensive held strong once again limiting a clear look at the basket for the Lighthouse Eagles, forcing them to throw up a desperation 3 that was no good as the clock ran out.

With the victory, the Force put a bow on what was a special season. The Force finished 21-0 in league play, beating all 3 division winners and all 12 of the teams that made the playoff this year. Not only did the Force win, but beat the best to do it!

2016-2017 has been a special season for the Shreveport Force. The goal in the beginning was: redemption.To be so close last year and fall short was heart-breaking all they wanted was another shot!  They got it!  So, as the book closes on this season redemption has been earned and the Shreveport Force Varsity Basketball Team are the CHAMPS!
