Tigers are stunned at the buzzer

Will Mantlo
The Tigers took the floor Tuesday night ready for the task ata hand. After a slow start in the first quarter the Tigers picked up from there on. They handled the ball well against the press, played excellent defense, and rebounded the ball very well. All three had been points of emphasis the last few weeks. After a close first half the Tigers found themselves down by 3 at halftime. The boys came out in the third quarter ready to play and out scored DCA 14-5 in the third. In the fourth the game got tight as DCA battled back by making a couple 3's with defense all over them. Myles Hamilton stepped up and was 4 of 4 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter. The Tigers found themselves up 1 point with 3.5 seconds to go and the other team had the ball under their own basket. The Tigers did a good job not allowing any cutters to the basket. DCA threw it out to a guard on the perimeter who air balled the shot which flew over the goal to the other side of the basket directly to an opportunistic Wildcat who then caught and shot the ball in mid air and it dropped in right before the buzzer sounded. This was a heart-breaking way to end the season but the team played very well last night and all year long. Myles Hamilton lead the team in scoring with 10 points while Duncan Clark and Alex Bahner each added 8.
