Wesclin holds off Cougars in OT for 3rd-straight VHT title

Wesclin managed to overcome the magic that seems to accompany South Central every time it steps on the court at Vandalia Community High School.

But just barely.

After watching the Cougars erase an 11-point fourth quarter deficit and force overtime on Will Crain's buzzer-beating 3-pointer, the top-seeded Indians held off South Central in the extra frame for a 54-51 victory in the championship game of the 36 Annual Vandalia Holiday Tournament Saturday night.

The title was the Warriors' third in a row and a record seventh overall.

But it was anything but easy.
