WEDNESDAY'S RESULT
WATERLOO GIBAULT CATHOLIC 55, EAST ALTON-WOOD RIVER 51: Gibault canned five of six free throws in the final seconds after EAWR took a one point lead to take a thrilling win over the Oilers at EAWR Memorial Gym.
Ryan Dawson put EAWR ahead 51-50 with 20 seconds left, and on the ensuing Hawk possession, Spencer Slayden got a steal and was surrounded by a pair of Gibault players trying to foul. But another official ruled the Oilers had called a time out they didn't have, as EAWR had used all their time outs. After a conference, the officials ruled the Oilers had called time, and assessed a technical foul. Gibault converted the free throws to go back ahead, then hit three more to complete the win.
The Hawks led 12-8 after one quarter, and had a 25-13 lead at halftime.
Antonio Hardin led the Oilers with 17 points, while Ahmad Allen and Slayden both had 10 points each. Ryan Bollinger led Gibault with 22 points, while Ian Bollinger added 12.
