This article is from the local paper in Florida:

 

Georgetown (Ky.) Scott County High School's best play Tuesday night was the one it didn't even attempt to execute properly.

 

Ge-Lawn Guyn's layup with less than two seconds remaining bolstered the Cardinals (4-3) to a 43-41 victory over Dunbar in the 35th Anniversary Bank of America City of Palms Classic.

 

Guyn said afterward that coach Billy Hicks wanted the ball to go inside on his team's last possession, with 6.8 seconds to play. Guyn instead beat his man off the dribble and finished with a right-handed layup as time expired, dooming the Tigers.

 

To say that Dunbar, ranked No. 10 in the Florida Sports Writers Association Class 3A state poll, came out tight in its debut in the Classic might be the understatement of the year.

 

The Tigers had more turnovers (12) than points (seven) and shot just 15 percent from the floor in a first half that left fans at Bishop Verot High wondering if the Tigers still had a pulse.

 

Scott County (4-3): Cameron Hundley 5-9 2-2 13, Richie Phares 2-10 1-1 5, Jordan Lee 1-4 0-0 2, Tyler Portwood 5-11 2-2 15, Ge-Lawn Guyn 1-6 2-2 4, Dustin Rodgers 0-0 0-0 0, Jordan Adams 0-3 2-2 2, Aaron Ford 0-1 0-0 0, Markus Burchfield 0-0 2-2 2, Adrian Givens 0-0 0-0 0
