COLUMBIA - Twenty-one seconds changed the fate of a season.
Webster Groves junior Courtney Ramey watched a free throw fall true, hustled back on defense and saw teammate Carte’Are Gordon block a Kickapoo shot attempt. The horn sounded and Webster Groves beat Kickapoo 58-57 in the Class 5 boys basketball semifinals at Mizzou Arena.
“They made some runs and our guys always had an answer, (Webster Groves) just had one more answer than we did,” Kickapoo coach Dick Rippee said.
The game matched the top two teams in the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Class 5 poll.
