BOYS
JOHNSONBURG 48, BROCKWAY 45
JOHNSONBURG, Pa. – Austin Green banked home a shot from midcourt at the horn to lift Johnsonburg to a come-from-behind 48-45 win over visiting Brockway in AML action.
The Rams trailed 37-35 going to the fourth quarter but forged a 45-all tie behind seven points from Green in the quarter.
Then the senior, who just scored his 1,000th career point Friday, got the ball on an inbounds play that originated by his own hoop, took three dribbles and fired up the half-court shot that banked in to win the game.
