Who says lightning can't strike twice? For the second straight game, the 4A OLG Saints played in a thriller that went down to the wire and came out on top with a hard fought 28-26 OT win over St. Bonaventure of Clayton. This time, Chris P. stepped into the hero's role as he he calmly sank a 20 footer from the baseline as time expired in OT to lift the Saints to another dramatic tournament victory. However, he wasn't the only hero as everyone stepped up and played a tough game. Early on, OLG started quickly and were able to carry a 16-13 lead into halftime. However after a slow third quarter, the team trailed 20-18 heading into the final period. The team played strong though and rallied down the stretch to tie it up and sent the game into OT. After falling behind by 1 late in the period, Tyler L converted a free throw to tie it up, then the team forced a turnover with three seconds which opened the door for a win. Inbounding from the baseline, Hekili J hit Chris P in the corner and he lofted the shot which resulted in his only bucket, yet the hugest of the game. With the great effort, OLG moves to 3-1 and advances to the Consolation Bracket finals on Sunday.
