Late execution helps North Oldham grind out win in Sweet 16 slugfest

The Sweet 16 first-round game between Muhlenberg County and North Oldham will not go into the KHSAA hall of fame. However, that is just fine for David Levitch and his basketball program.

In their first-ever appearance at the Sweet 16, the 8th region champs had to grind out victory over a Muhlenberg County team that loves to play slow and turn games into a possession-by-possession affair.

After a low-scoring first half, the third quarter got ugly. Muhlenberg County held North Oldham to just two points on 1 of 9 shooting, but Muhlenberg County got just four points on 2 of 8 shooting.
