CLARKSVILLE — Casey Kaelin tallied a game-high 21 points to lead Class 2A No. 8 Providence to a 73-37 victory over visiting New Washington in the regular-season finale for both at the Larkin Center on Tuesday night.
The Pioneers led 18-3 at the end of the first quarter, 34-16 at halftime and 56-29 through three periods en route to the 36-point win.
Freshman Elijah Fuller-Tucker added 11 points, all in the fourth quarter, while junior Quentin Hesse netted nine for Providence (18-4), which will face Clarksville at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday night in a first-round game of the 2A Southwestern Sectional.
"The boys played well on both ends of the floor against a high-powered offensive team in New Washington," said Pioneers coach Ryan Miller, whose team bounced back from a 63-49 loss at Silver Creek for its 15th win in 16 games. "We got back to playing Providence basketball after having an unacceptable performance this weekend. The boys have had a great regular season with several nice wins over quality opponents, but now we are 0-0 and it's time to get to work."
Senior Matthew Arthur scored a team-high 14 points for the Mustangs (10-13), who will host Shawe Memorial at 6 p.m. next Tuesday night in a first-round game of the Class A New Washington Sectional.
"We wish our former coach Torrey Winchester and them good luck in sectionals," Miller said.
