CC wins at buzzer
C.J. Reed banked in a 35-footer at the buzzer Saturday night to lift Columbus Christian to a 46-44 win against Shawe Memorial.
The Hilltoppers led 44-41 in the closing seconds before Reed scored with 4.4 seconds remaining to cut the lead to one. The Crusaders fouled Shawe with 3.3 seconds left, and after an air ball on the one-and-one, Columbus Christian got the ball out of bounds.
“We were out of timeouts, and they called timeout, which gave me a chance to draw up a play,” Columbus Christian coach Kevin Roth said. “I said, ‘You can dribble the length of the court in four seconds. He took it on a curl and pulled up and hit the shot.”
Reed finished with 25 points to lead the Crusaders (7-19). Jacob Conrad added nine.
