Buzzer Beater Propels Upset in All A Semi's
1 month ago @ 8:22PM
With 1.2 seconds on the clock, Luke Sims for St. Mary sank 15-footer to break the 51-51 tie and seemingly sealed the advance of the Region 1 All-A Tournament's top seed. However, after a Bomber time out, Cole Ballard inbounded the ball to Ike Miller who turned without a dribble and launched a 3/4 court shot that banked in for the improbable 3-point shot and the 54-53 win for the Bombers on January 17.
After falling to the Vikings by 19 points in the second week of the season, the Bombers compiled a balanced attack that included 16 points from Miller, and 27 bench points from Kyler Ballard (12), Cole Ballard (7), and Reed Duren (7) to secure the win. Duren's 3-pointer with 3:37 to go in the game which gave them the lead at 50-49 was their last field goal in the 3:36. They managed only a free throw by Ed Proesmans at the 2:27 mark before Miller's heroics helped the Bombers advance to finals for a rematch with Mayfield on January 18.
