So to Overtime we go; In the overtime period, we took a 4 point lead at one point and could not hold on to the ball, and take care of the opportunity that we had earned and fought so hard for. Dumas had a two point lead 58 to 56, after making two free throws, the Jacks raced the ball up the floor, and we called a timeout with 2 seconds left to set up for a last shot. We were able to get the ball to Darveon Brown and he was fouled on a three point attempt, that just fell short. No time remaining on the clock, three free throws to decide the game, and unfortunately, Dumas came away with the win.
