March 2, 2012
It was a packed house at the AJ Palumbo Center as fans filled the stands to catch a glimpse of the highly touted New Castle Red Hurricane, as they battled the Hampton Talbots for WPIAL Class AAA gold. The Talbots kept pace with the Red Hurricane throughout the first quarter, trailing New Castle 14-10 at the end of the period. New Castle began to flex its muscles in the second quarter, however, extending the lead to 26-14 with 3:15 to go. The Red Hurricane stepped up their full court pressure defense, causing the Talbots continued struggles offensively. Ryan Luther hit a three pointer with 1:20 to go, ending a two minute scoring drought for the Talbots. New Castle spent the remaining minute of the quarter taking seconds off the clock, until Shawn Anderson converted a layup with five seconds to go.2012 WPIAL Boys Basketball Championship Previews
