Josh Whack did it all for Carmel during the Greyhounds' state championship run. In addition to playing tough on defense, Whack made 7 of 8 free throws during the overtime period, helping Carmel to clinch the state title. Sports 7 'HOUNDS from Page 6 later, and he drained two more foul shots. Now the Greyhounds were up 46-42 with under a minute to go. “Josh did a little bit of everything,” said Carmel coach Ryan Osborn. “He hit some big free throws, but he’s shooting over 80 percent for the year. Just a men- tal toughness thing. You can credit his defense in the same manner.” Gunn hit a 3-pointer with 30 seconds left to get LN back within 47-46, but the Wildcats would score no more. They im- mediately fouled Waddell out of a tim- eout, and he made both his free throws. Waddell finished a perfect 8-of-8 from the line. Two more foul shots by Whack sealed the game with 17.9 seconds left in the OT. That brought Whack to 11 points on the night. “Credit to LN, they played a heck of a game,” said Waddell. “I had faith in our guys throughout the whole time, even when we were down, we were going to find a way to pull it out.” Lawrence North came out hot in the opening minutes of the game, quickly going up 6-0. Carmel called a 30-second timeout with 5:57 left in the first quarter. “We kind of anticipated they would come out swinging, come out ready to play,” said Osborn. But his team would quickly absorb that early run, and go off on an 11-2 run of its own. Whack got the Greyhounds on the board with a floater.
