Bryan Station won a 68-66 overtime thriller over Lafayette in a game which matched March tournament time for intensity.  Bryan Station looked like they would have a relatively easy victory as they led 33-23 at halftime.  Lafayette battled back and cut the deficit to two; 47-45 after three quarters.  There were several lead changes in the final quarter and Jackson Davis tied the game 62-62 for Lafayette with a field goal in the lane with approximately 17 seconds remaining in regulation.  Bryan Station held for the last shot but Larry Morton missed a long three point shot at the buzzer.

The score was tied 66-66 with 29 seconds remaining in overtime with Lafayette in possession and the Generals called a timeout.  There was a wild melee when the ball was knocked loose.  The ball was thrown into the backcourt and Bryan Station’s Marcus Williams caught it and hit a layup at the buzzer for a 68-66 win.  This was the first game of the season and at times the play was ragged as would be expected but the intensity and excitement would be hard to match anytime.  Bryan Station was hampered tonight by foul problems with 6-7 Sr. James Evans who recorded five personal fouls in only 3:34.
