Otselic Valley 56, Stockbridge Valley 55 (OT)

SOUTH OTSELIC - Otselic Valley made an improbable rally making up a four-point deficit in less than four seconds to escape with a thrilling one-point overtime victory Wednesday night against Stockbridge Valley.

The Indians scored the first six points of the extra period to take the control, and still held a four-point lead entering the last 30 seconds.

On its last possession where the host Vikes missed two shots - and recovered both offensive rebounds - a Braeden Davis drive to a congested paint area and kickout pass to Levi Lyon led to a big 3 that cut the margin to one point with 3.5 seconds remaining.

OV (9-8) used a full-court press, and Matt Wetterer stripped an SV ballhandler, and then passed to Davis for the winning layup at the buzzer.

"It was pandemonium, and fans rushed out on the court," said OV coach Jake Preston after the victory.

Davis had another huge offensive night for OV finished with 30 points, four three-pointers made, and seven rebounds.

Wetterer and Cole Warren added eight points and seven rebounds apiece in the win.

SV:  McHugh 3, Alex Smith 24, Fisher 2, Ethan Smith 13, Backer 6, Jayson 7. Totals:  fG-22, FT 6-9-55.
