12/29/2017 Chillicothe 42, E. Buchanan 41
Bishop LeBlond Semi-Finals
 

     Westley Brandsgaard hit a right wing trey with 45 seconds left to give Chillicothe a 42-41 win over East Buchanan in the Bishop LeBlond Tournament semi-finals.
     Chillicothe jumped on top early, leading by 8 points in the first quarter. East Buchanan responded with a 20-3 run and led by 8 points at halftime. By the end of the third quarter Chillicothe was down by 4 points.
     The 4th quarter opened with an East Buchanan basket, but Chillicothe turned up the heat from the outside with a 9-0 run off treys from Brandsgaard, Jack Willard and CJ Pfaff to take a three point lead with 3:25 left to play.
     The Chillicothe defense continued to pressure and kept East Buchanan's Ethan Kilgore in check. Kilgore had 6 treys and 35 points the previous night but was held to 13 points and had just one shot attempt in the entire 4th quarter, which was a missed trey.

     Chillicothe had a 2 point lead with a minute left but East Buchanan hit a trey and was fouled. The player sunk the free throw for a 4 point play and a 2 points lead.
    With 45 seconds left, The Hornets Hayden Montgomery had the ball on the low post and fired a pass out to Brandsgaard on the right wing, who caught it and shot the three ball for the 1 point lead.
    East Buchanan attempted a trey and missed then fouled Chillicothe, which missed the free throw with just over a second left. After a time out,  East Buchanan threw the ball to just behind mid court and a shot hit of the top part of the backboard and was no good, giving the Hornets the win.
