Greenwood all-time leading scorer Julius Walker breathed a heavy sigh as he left the basketball court in Lebanon.

The senior poured in 45 points to lead Greenwood (25-3) to a squeaky 73-70 win over Iberia in the boys basketball Class 2 sectional playoffs Wednesday night at J.E. Boswell Auditorium. The Blue Jays saw a 17-point first half lead evaporate and trailed the Rangers by a point with just more than two minutes left in the game.

“I looked up at the scoreboard and I thought, ‘I really don’t want my career to end in this gym,’” Walker said.
