Chris Price Kirby H.S.
Bass made a great pass to Chris House for 2 and the foul but the junior big man couldn't not covert the free throw. Roosevelt Joy tied it on 2 free throws to make it 48-48. Henderson put up a what are you doing shot, that was then converted to a 3 by Ollie of Whitehaven but the senior made it up hitting a 3 to redeem himself and give the lead back to Kirby, 55-53. Lee was fouled and he made 1 of 2 free throws with 34 seconds left in the 4th. Joy hit a huge 3 to tie the game 56-56. The Cougars had time for one last attempt. Lee drove the ball the lenght of the floor and put up a floater that fell short but his teammate Price rebounded the miss and he was fouled. The guard would miss both free throws but wait, a lane violation on Whitehaven. Price is right on the third opportunity for a 57-56 win by Kirby.
Curtis Lee led his team with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Malcolm Burton had 10 and Chris House had 12 rebounds. Rucker and Joy each had double figures with Rucker having 17 and Joy's 11 2nd half points gave him 13 for the game.

With 0.2 seconds and the score tied 56-56, senior guard Chris Price stepped to the line to win it for his team but I'll get back to that in minute.

Rucker's lay up tied it in the second quarter but the Cougars went up 5 on a steal by junior Mario Bass and he layed it up to make it 18-13, Kirby. The quick and strong Malcolm Burton began to assert himself with 4 straight trips to the free throw line making 5 of 6 for a 23-17 lead. Freshmen Ocatavious Ellis of Whitehaven got 2 to close Kirby's lead to 2 but big man Curtis Lee took over the 3rd quarter. Lee showed his tenacity on the boards and even hit a 3 for his team after Whitehaven's Nate Ollie got his team within 4. The senior forward had 7 points in the quarter before Terry Leake closed the 3rd with a short jumper in the middle of the lane. The Tigers clawed back and even took the lead for the first time in 3 quarters on a another dunk by Rucker to make it 46-45, Whitehaven.
