The No. 3 Covington Catholic Colonels (30-4) held off a late rally from No. 22 Lyon County (29-7) to advance to the semifinals of the UK Healthcare Boy’s Sweet 16 once again. The game was closer than many expected, thanks in large part to Lyon County star sophomore Travis Perry, who scored eight of his 21 points in the final two minutes. But the Colonels responded to every punch he threw, including a pair of clutch free throws by junior Evan Ipsaro that iced a 57-55 win — and CovCath’s first semifinal appearance since 2018, when current Kentucky guard CJ Fredrick led the Colonels to the state championship.
