OSWAYO VALLEY 71, GALETON 67, OVERTIME
SHINGLEHOUSE, Pa. – Oswayo Valley rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit to knock off visiting Galeton, 71-67, in overtime.
The Green Wave trailed 35-20 at halftime and then quickly got down 18 at the start of the third quarter before whittling the deficit to 13, 50-37, after three.
But in the fourth quarter, Oswayo Valley exploded for 28 points behind 13 from Theo Henry and eight from Jacob Karr to take a 65-63 lead.
Evan Brooks, though, drove to the hoop, made the shot and was fouled with five seconds left. Brooks, however, missed the free throw keeping the game tied at 65, and Gavin Babcock’s desperation heave from around 28 to 30 feet was off the mark sending the game to overtime.
