Freeman survives wild overtime thriller in C2
The Falcons beat Valentine 57-56
LINCOLN - Last-second heroics have lifted Freeman on to the next round in Class C2.
Easton Buss’ lay-in with 0.8 seconds to go in overtime gave the Falcons a 57-56 win over three-seed Valentine.
That followed two straight 0-for-2 trips to the free throw line by both teams.
The game wouldn’t have gone to the extra session if not for Jayden Wiese, who tipped in a Keegan White miss as time expired in the fourth to tie the game at 47.
The Falcons will next face defending champs Bergan Catholic in Friday’s semi-finals. Valentine was making their first appearance at state since a semifinal appearance in 2004.
