Grant Whitaker scored 19, Trey Boggess added 16 points and 12 boards, and the Murray Tigers knocked off the Henry Clay Blue Devils 56-52 in the opening round of the UK Healthcare Boys’ Sweet 16. With the Henry Clay defense focused on those two players, it was Caleb Gill and Mason Grant who scored clutch buckets for the No. 23 ranked Tigers.
Clinging to a one-point lead, Gill started at midcourt and drove past his man all the way to the rim for a layup to extend Murray’s lead to 54-51 lead with 1:04 remaining.
