Warrensburg’s Dalton Thompson hit a pull-up jumper with 2.5 seconds left and Smith-Cotton’s Chance Johnson could not get a clean shot off at the buzzer as S-C fell to its rivals in the Courtwarming game 47-45 on Friday.
Smith-Cotton tied the game when Dalton Christian got a steal and a layup with less than a minute and a half to play. Warrensburg missed a quick shot on the other end but got the offensive rebound and decided to hold for the last shot.
