THURGOOD wins in OT, captures City title
By the time the game was over, coach Darnell Hoskins and the Cougars was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief, as his Cougars escaped Belmont with a two-point win in overtime 52-50.
From the jump Belmont was up in Thurgood and it was no doubt that they were going to have to fight to the end to get the win.
Belmont had a two point lead in the final seconds of the game, when Darnell Hoskins Jr hit a beautiful spinning layup with 5 seconds left to push the game into overtime.
Even in overtime, it looked as if the Bison would get it done. However, Thurgood grabbed a two-point lead, its first of the OT coming in the final moments of the game.
Belmont missed their final attempt, and the rest was history.
The Cougar fans rejoiced, while Belmont was shocked in the defeat.
Thurgood moves to 9-1 in the City, and 11-9 overall.
Belmont falls to 2-8.
But the optimism is real at Belmont, and within reason.
DUNBAR wins in OT, survives TIGERS
In a game that was similar to Belmont -Thurgood, Stivers stayed close all night, and held a 6-point lead with less than 3 minutes to go, as it looked as if the Tigers would pull off the upset.
Then the Wolverines kicked into gear, caused some turnovers, took advantage of Stivers misses at the line and pushed the game into OT.
Both teams had a chance to win the game, but it headed to OT.
In OT, Stivers still had a lead, but Dunbar got key baskets and at the end, Caleb McConnell caught a tipped pass from Stormi Cook and dished it to Devon Baker for a layup at the buzzer as the Wolverines won 72-70.
The Tigers had numerous opportunities, but couldn't seal the deal.
MEADOWDALE knocks off PONITZ
The Lions grabbed a 65- 53 victory over Ponitz as they roared late to get the win on Senior Night.
The game was close all night, and Ponitz held a 27-25 lead at half.
The Lions regrouped in the 2nd half, and seemed to find their rhythm.
So did Ponitz, as it looked as if the Panthers Would Get Some "Getback" after losing earlier this season.
Not so fast Panthers.
Meadowdale finished on a 12-0 run to end the game, hence the final score.
Jarvis Smith and Kameron Suber led the Lions with 14 a piece, while CJ Williams dropped 10.
Meadowdale now moves to 6-4 in City League play, good for 3rd in the Rankings, and giving them confidence for the tourney.
Ponitz was game all night and while Coach Hansbro, while disappointed ab out the result, like the fight his team had in em.
WAYNE throttles FAIRMONT, now one game away
A little snow couldn't stop the WayneTrain from dismantling the Fairmont Firebirds 88-51.
Initially the game was cancelled, but after reassessing the situation, feeling the weather wasnt too dire, the game was back on.
Probably not good for the Fairmont squad, as they were no match for the Top team in the state.
Wayne will now play for a chance to go undefeated this weekend, and they prep for their State Championship defense.
