The win put the Hawks into Friday's regional final against Winchester West Central, 57-44 winners over Jacksonville Routt in Wednesday's other semifinal contest; the game is set for 7 p.m. Friday, with the winner moving into the Okawville Sectional next week against the Valmeyer Regional winner.
Jerrett Smith led the Hawks with 20 points. Jacob Stendeback connected on three three-point shots and finished with 13 points for the Hawks.
Carrollton head boys basketball coach Jeff Krumwiede said Smith has been a catalyst for the team in three recent close wins.
"Jerrett has been a leader, especially the last couple of weeks," Krumwiede said. "He has really fueled us."
Krumwiede said this was the third comeback win in a row for his team.
"It's nice to see the kids making big plays and not quitting," he added. "North Greene is well coached. I thought Nathan Walker came in and had a great game, he had eight points and really stepped up on defense and had two big three-pointers."
