It was a wild sequence, but the ball ended up in an excellent shooter’s hands with the clock ticking down in the 12th region championship and a trip to Rupp Arena on the line.
Colton Ralston did the rest.
Ralston scored all five of Lincoln County’s overtime points, including the baseline jumper as time expired, to cap off a dramatic 42-40 (OT) win over Pulaski County, and send the Patriots to Rupp Arena.
Tied at 40 Jaxon Smith drove into the lane, but his shot was too strong. Clayton Davis, who was an important factor on the boards all night, tipped the ball to Ralston, who got off the game-winner right before the horn.
