Final from the 5th Region.

Whale of a game. LaRue scorched the nets in the first half, hitting (I think) 10-of-12 threes and going up by double digits on several occasions. But John stuck with the game plan and kept battering LaRue inside, eventually tying the game with about 6 seconds left. Once in OT, LaRue's confidence was shattered by losing the big lead, as well as losing their PG to foul trouble late in the 4th, and quickly fell behind by six points and never could recover.

My roommate was there and said it was a hell of a game. He also snagged a picture of a local sportswriter.

Hope said sportswriter didn't do any damage to the camera. Them journalists can be a scary sight.
