CAL Baseball is KY 2A State Championship Runner-Up!
The Christian Academy Louisville Baseball Centurions are the KHSAA 2021 Kentucky 2A Championship baseball runner-up! CAL lost to undefeated Paducah Tilghman, 10-7, on Sunday afternoon in Owensboro in a tightly contested championship game that developed into a slugfest in the sixth inning. Paducah Tilghman pushed across a first inning run to take a 1-0 lead before CAL tied the game in the third inning. Johnny Pohlman opened the Centurions’ third inning with a sharp single to left field. One out later, Logan McNair lined a single to center field with Pohlman stopping at second base. Avery Hare was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Pohlman scored one out later when Jack Mauzy drew a bases loaded walk to tie the game.
Tilghman scored single runs in the third and fourth innings to take a 3-1 lead before CAL narrowed the margin with a single tally in the fifth inning. Hare opened the inning with a infield single and advanced to second two outs later on a passed ball before scoring when Marshall Mowder grounded a single into centerfield.
CAL took a 6-3 lead with a four-run sixth inning. With one out, Pohlman and Jack Perdue both singled and McNair drew a walk to load the bases. Pohlman tied the game when Hare reached on an infield single. One out later, CAL took a 5-3 lead when Perdue and McNair scored when Mauzy reached base on a throwing error with Hare scampering to third base and Mauzy to second. The Centurions’ fourth run of the inning scored when Mowder lined a single to right field to score Hare, CAL leading 6-3.
However, the lead didn’t last long. Tilghman sent 11 men to the plate in the sixth inning, scoring seven runs on only three hits, taking advantage of two CAL errors, two hit batsmen, and a walk to take a 10-6 lead that the Centurions could not overcome.
CAL did score once more in the game. Pohlman collected his third hit of the game with a one-out single before advancing to second one-out later on a wild pitch. McNair drove him home with a ground ball single into right field, but the late game excitement ended there.
CAL rapped out twelve hits in the game. Pohlman was 3-3 with three singles and a walk and Avery Hare had three singles in the game. Jack Perdue, Logan McNair, and Marshall Mowder all singled twice. Nathaniel Turner started on the mound for the Centurions, going five innings. Turner had relief help from Ben Kirk, Noah McCarty, and Will Thompson. Jack Mauzy made an outstanding running catch on a line drive in centerfield to end a fourth inning rally by Tilghman.
Three Centurions were named to the All-Tournament team: Avery Hare, Marshall Mowder, and Johnny Pohlman.

Centurion Boys Basketball Wins Home Opener and Splits Two on the Road
After a six week Covid delay, our varsity basketball team finally took the court to begin the 2021 season. New coach Aaron Hill was excited to start back in November, but all games between Thanksgiving and the first week of January were canceled. Coach Hill and Athletic Director Brad Morgan tirelessly worked the phones to rework a nearly full
schedule beginning January 4th.
January 4th
CAL 90 Bardstown Bethlehem 56
CAL’s offense exploded for 90 points in a 32 minute game. We hit 55% of our shots and seven Centurions nailed at least one three pointer. Bethlehem had no answer for big man Stephen Wearsch who hit 9 of 10 shots from the field for 20 points and 13 rebounds. Sophomore sensation George Washington scored 23 points, hitting three shots from beyond the arc. Senior Brayden Daniels hit three treys as well en route to 14 points total. Hodge scored 6. McClure scored 6. Erhardt 7. Lagestee 5. This game was never in doubt as CAL’s confidence grew as the game wore on. We ended the game with a barrage of points scoring 52 in the final 16 minutes to pull away by 30.
January 8th CAL 85 Holy Cross (Covington) 86
In our first true road game up on the river in Newport, CAL almost stole a victory from a good Holy Cross team, losing a heartbreaker by one point. After a lackluster first half which saw our boys down by 6 or 7 points most of the time, coach Aaron Hill fired the boys up at halftime and we came out with a chip on our shoulder mounting a comeback that almost resulted in a victory. Captain Brayden Daniels was feeling it from deep. Daniels hit 6 three pointers en route to 21 points on the night. Newcomer Luke Erhardt proved his mettle scoring 13 points and hit several key free throws during our fourth quarter comeback. Tyler Lagestee calmly hit 3 three pointers at opportune times to help tie the game late. Stephen Wearsch took it upon himself to score 15 points alone in the third quarter including several old fashioned three point plays. He finished with 19 points. George Washington contributed 13.
CAL tied the game at 85 all with 10 seconds to play. It looked as though the game was going to go to overtime. We would have had a distinct advantage as Holy Cross lost a key guard to fouls and we had big momentum as well as no foul trouble for most of our key contributors. But, alas, the referees never let that happen. As time expired, the referee blew the whistle as two players fought for a rebound. Foul on CAL. Two shots for Holy Cross. He made one. Game over. A bitter pill to swallow for sure, but CAL proved they would never give up no matter what. This lesson learned would prove monumental the very next night.
January 9th CAL 73 Newport Central Catholic 63
After the painful loss the night before, CAL found itself in the same position against NCC. We were behind for three quarters. Down 6 at the start of the fourth. But this time we would not be denied the victory. CAL put it all together, mounted a comeback, and pulled away for a 10 point victory.
Maybe it was the seniors only meeting at BW3’s the night before, or maybe it was the meat and cheese they ate, but no matter, CAL was bent on stealing the win. Senior Conner Haun exemplified this winning attitude with his hustle play. Conner dove, kicked, and scrapped his way to numerous deflections and rebounds, drawing fouls, and getting to the free throw line. He finished with 8 points and many rebounds. George Washington introduced himself to Kentucky high school basketball by dropping 33 points and hitting seven 3 pointers. He will be a force to be reckoned with over the next several years. Brayden Daniels chipped in 6 points. Wearsch scored 9 second half points. Lagestee, of course, hit another 3 pointer. Erhardt scored double digits for the second straight game netting 10.
Our high scoring Centurions are averaging 83 points per game through three games. Eight different players have hit three pointers.
