SMYRNA -- No. 3 Blackman avoided a major upset in District 7 play Friday night, holding off Stewarts Creek 46-44.
The fourth quarter saw eight lead changes, and in the final minute Tyler Conley drove to the basket and hit a reverse layup to give his team a 44-43 lead.
However, with 18 seconds left to go on the clock a Blaze three-pointer caromed off the left side of the rim and found the waiting hands of Bryce Williams, who hit a base line jumper to put the lead back in his squad's favor at 45-44. A free throw by guard Donovan Page put the game away for the Blaze.
