In a game that saw huge runs for both teams, it came down to two free throws to give the Sedan Blue Devils a 55-53 win over the Caney Valley Bullpups.

 

The first quarter saw neither team put much separation between each other as the lead changed hands several times with the Bullpups leading 16-13 after the first eight minutes. Caney Valley, however, sprinted out of the gates to start the second by going on a 15-2 run over the first 6 minutes to build a 16-point lead capped off by a Jack Billingsley three-pointer.

 

The Bullpups lead 35-21 at the half but the 3^rd quarter was all Sedan as they outscored Caney 18-5 to set up some 4^th quarter drama. The Bullpups were leading by two late with the basketball when freshman guard Jeremiah Price delivered some late-game heroics.

 

With just seconds left in the game, the Bullpups DaRon Davis committed his 5^th personal foul and sent Sedan to the free throw where Keaton Dickens sank two free throws to make the score 55-53. Kaehl Smith missed a half-court shot at the buzzer to arrange the final margin.

 

The post-season begins next week as Sedan will host Conway Springs on Monday while Caney Valley will travel Riverton on Tuesday. Both games are scheduled for 7 pm start times.
