I am Phil Ney with sports, Richesland Center lost a heartbreaker and boys basketball last night.
The Hornets fell to St. Ambrose Academy 55 53 on a buzzer beater.
The game was close all night. A lead of eight was the greatest advantage all evening.
And that was held by the Hornets in the first half. They were up 32 30 and a half time.
The Hornets last lead was 51 50 with a minute 37 left. The Guardians Isaac Morlin made a three-point
basket to put the visitors up 53 51 before the Hornets were able to get a two-point.
Yep, gets away from the defender to the baseline. Makes the shot up good.
Off the glass and down for Jaden Schiff. And it's 53 apiece.
Nine seconds up the sideline Morlin finds Avery knocked away by Darschen out of bounds.
The ball was out of bounds with 4.7 seconds left. After a time out, a pass from Nathan Pitschakowski
to the weak side of the lane caught Nathan A. Bear who laid the ball in at the buzzer
for the win for the Guardians. The Hornets were led in scoring by Jaden Schiff with 16.
While Liam Fingerson added 15 others in the scorebook last night. Deacon Hies with eight.
