The Pandora-Gilboa High School boys basketball team traveled to Arlington on January 20 in hopes of staying undefeated atop the Blanchard Valley Conference standings. But with Arlington’s game winning shot at the buzzer, P-G lost in heartbreaking fashion, 46-45.
With eleven seconds left in the game and the Rockets down one, P-G’s Aidan Harris was fouled putting him at the line for a one-and-one. Harris stepped to the line and calmly hit both free throws for a 45-44 lead. Following a Red Devil timeout, with just 5.9 seconds left, Arlington had the ball at half court to set up the final play. The Red Devil point guard got the ball, backed down the P-G defender who was flanked all over him, banked in the off-balanced, one-handed shot.
