The Wire

For those of you following the ongoing drama in my life, here is what happened last night...

We were up by 12 (36-24) with 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

With 4:32 left in the 4th quarter we were tied 41-41.

Nate Humphrey hit a three at 4:22 and we were up 44-41.

Ben Walsh hit a three (3:51) and we were up 47-41.

They hit a two (3:01) and we were up 47-43.

Bart Loy hit a wide open lay-up (1:57) and we were up 49-43.

They hit a three and we were up 49-46--with 1:42 left in the game.

Seth Tankersly was fouled with 47 seconds left and hit two clutch free throws. We were up 51-46.

They hit a three (yes--another three), and we were up 51-49--with less than 15 seconds to go.

Ben Walsh was fouled and hit the front end of a 1 and 1. We were up 52-49 with around 10 seconds to go.

It was down to the wire...(which was the exact opposite of what I had hoped for.)

They shot a deep, deep three with about 6 seconds left, and...

and...

and..........................................

it was an airball. We rebounded the ball and ran out the last 4 seconds.

Final Score - LCCA 52, Zanesville 49.

No dramatic music. No picket fence. No Gene Hackman.

But it was a win!

(I think I will stick to Junior High Basketball.)
