Two Maryland teams battled for the title at the Hoodies House Hoop Classic in Charlotte, N.C., on Tuesday.
Elijah Long made two free throws with three seconds left in the game to lift No. 3 John Carroll over St. James, 41-39, on Tuesday.
Most Valuable Player Kimbal Mackenzie had 15 points for the Patriots (14-1). Virginia Tech-bound Justin Robinson scored 14 points for the Saints, who led for most of the game.
South Carroll 41, No. 11 Centennial 38: Despite losing a 13-point second-quarter advantage, the Cavaliers (6-2) held off a late charge by the Eagles (8-1) to claim the Liberty Holiday tournament crown in Eldersburg.
"It's a good experience, win or lose," South Carroll coach Doug Goff said. "If they had hit that 3[-pointer], or we would have lost at the buzzer, I still would have felt the same, that holiday tournaments are a real good experience for us."
Logan Cook added nine points Tuesday and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
