The DePaul Prep Rams defeated the Farragut Admirals 69-37 last night (March 6, 2020) at DePaul’s Tom Winiecki gym to win a sixth straight regional championship.
The game started close. The Rams opened an early lead but Farragut came stayed close. The game turned the Rams way for good after Farragut guard Malik Williams undercut DePaul’s Tyler Johnson. TY stole the ball and moved in for an open dunk. Williams pushed Johnson in the legs causing him to come down hard.
Johnson stayed in the game. DePaul never looked back.
Granted Farragut’s best player was injured and they only dressed 8 players but with DePaul’s relentless defense, it had to be just a matter of time before the Admirals lost wind in their sails.
69-37 was the final.
The sixth straight regional championship for DePaul Prep. Next for the Rams are the St. Ignatius Wolfpack at St. Ignatius at 7:00 p.m., on Wednesday. If victorious, a probable rematch with Fenwick. And then maybe another rematch with the Notre Dame Dons.
Gonna be tough.
