Heartbreaker of a Loss in OT for 7th Grade Boys Highlanders Basketball Team

Playing during a power outage, the 7th Grade Highlanders held the lead for the majority of the game, with strong defensive play by Graham Low. Julian Cortez led the team in points scored, helping Piedmont maintain their lead until the final quarter. With the power back on and seconds on the clock, Lincoln hit a three pointer to tie the game and send the shooter to the free throw line with a chance to win. Fortunately for PMS, the free throw was missed and the game went into overtime. The Highlanders made a good effort in overtime, but ultimately lost by 6.

Final score: PMS 37 - LMS 43.
