Discovery Plays Exciting Overtime Game Against MNE

by: Will Stallings

This week 5^th ranked Discovery School boys hosted Mitchell Neilson Elementary. This was a great game. The toss-up was won by Mitchell Neilson, but Discovery scored first. They got two free throws and scored both times.  It went back and forth, keeping the score close.  Then we made an impressive shot which happened to be a three-pointer making it 8 to 5. Soon after it was 10 to 8 and we were trailing. Then two players on Discovery were injured– #23 and #20. After a moment, they were okay.

Our chance to turn the game around came with a couple of free throws. We made two points and the score was 10 to 10.  But soon the score was 17 to 12. We continued to hang in there. The score at the end of the third quarter was 29 to 31.  We were winning!   The 4^th quarter was tight.  29 seconds and a timeout was called.  We were trailing by 2.  With fifteen seconds to go, #23 tied it up 35 to 35. The crowd was going crazy.

Time ran out and the game went in to overtime.  Two minutes were placed on the clock. Mitchell Neilson was the first to score.  They continued to dominate.  In the end it was 40 to 38—MNE’s favor.  What a game! Even though Discovery School didn’t win it was a great game.
