BAINBRIDGE – The Bobcats took down the only undefeated team left in the Midstate Athletic Conference Wednesday night, holding on to their early lead to come away with the 43-41 win over the Unatego Spartans.

The basketball game turned into a chess match between two legendary coaches in the high school, Bob Conway and Bob Zeh, with less than a minute remaining in the contest.

B-G’s Macie Leizear went to the foul line to shoot two shots with 10.8 seconds remaining in the contest. Missing the first of two, Leizear put the second one in to make the score 42-39. Spartans head coach Bob Zeh took a timeout to set up a play and advance the ball to half court.

Unatego’s Hali Lucia scored out of the half court set to put her team down by one. Bobcat’s coach Bob Conway used a timeout.

The Spartans fouled Bainbridge-Guilford’s Erica Selfridge when they were unable to come away with a steal, sending the Bobcats’ sophomore to the free throw stripe. Selfridge missed the first of two shots, leaving the game at a one possession game with 3.9 seconds left.

Selfridge drained the second, putting her team ahead by two points.
