Final from Breathitt County in Triple OT.

Shew Wee what a game. Hats off to both teams.

Estill misses the game tying shot in regulation with seconds left, Tolson ends up with the ball gets fouled, slams ball down in excitement, gets T'd up for it. Benton makes both free throws to tie it up 48-48. Isfort misses the game winner. Overtime #1.

Estill is up biggest part of the overtime, 7 was the largest lead and was up that many late but costly turnovers and some clutch shooting from Wilgus Tolson brings Wolfe back and it's tied 62 all going into OT #2.

Overtime #2 was back and forth with several lead changes. Willis missed the game winning shot for Estill at the end of the 2nd OT.

Overtime #3. 

Benton starts it out with a deep 3. Isfort would make 1/2 to make it 73-71. Teams would then trade some baskets. Wolfe was up late 78-77. Estill had two good looks but couldn't make them, luckily both attempts would go out of bounds off a Wolfe player. Kade Benton with the ball with seconds on the clock takes a 3 in front of the Estill bench and nothing but nylon. Tolson's heeve from half court hits off top of backboard.

Estill advances to take on Cordia on Sunday.

Heck of a game!  Congrats to the Engineers!

Wolfe was in a pretty good position to win after going up by 2, but slamming the ball (I realize that he was excited) messed that chance up. You just can't do that no matter if overjoyed, or in frustration. Some thought that the 'T' was a bad call. It was not...it was the right call.

In the first OT when the kid from Wolfe made the 3 to tie sending game to the 2nd OT he actully walked getting in position to shoot, but it was a no call.

With those two items alone, the right team won, and I have no dog in the fight. 

Best game i watched all season.

37 for Benton unofficially.
