January 31, 2018
Tuesday night the Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils traveled out to Mount Union to take on the Trojans in an I.C.C. match-up that came down to the wire.
The Blue Devils pulled it out 65-64 in overtime, but not before the Trojans missed two point blank shots under the hoop with just seconds left.
Trent Walker led B-A with 27 points.
With 40 seconds left in regulation Tanner Worthing brought the ball up the floor down by three. There would be two fouls before Bellwood-Antis ran an inbounds play from under the hoop that found Walker hitting a three with a hand in his face and draining the tying basket. It went in the extra period tied 52-52.
Overtime was a back and forth affair that had the Blue Devils up by one point late with the Trojans inbounding from under their own basket with 2 seconds to play. They would miss a wide open layup followed by a put back attempt, which was snatched from the air by Worthing.
Worthing finished with 16 points for B-A, which struggled to find answers for Trojan guard Mykeal Smith, who scored 35 points.
The Blue Devils improved to 13-4.
