SPARTANBURG, S.C. – With 9.9 seconds remaining in regulation and trailing by three, Chapman sought to extend a key Region 3-3A contest with Broome to an extra frame.
On their final trip down the floor, Chapman found a couple of chances to tie, but both went begging as the Broome Centurions (5-7, 1-2 Region) held on for a 49-46 victory. In the late stages of the fourth quarter, Broome reclaimed the lead and extended it out to a five point advantage, 46-41. Not long after that, Chapman created some traffic and forced a Centurion turnover which resulted in a fastbreak layup by Banks Atkins, making it a three point game. Broome guard Dylan Ramirez forced Chapman to commit their seventh team foul with a minute to play. Ramirez made both of his free throw attempts, which made it a five point lead again for the Centurions. On Chapman’s next possession, a Gavin Humphries triple cut it down to a two point game, 48-46, with less than 45 seconds to play. Chapman (10-7, 3-2) had a couple of opportunities down the stretch to either tie or win, including a layup and two shots from distance, but couldn’t cash in. Banks Atkins scored a game-high 20 points for Chapman, while Gavin Humphries and Miles Carter had 12 and nine points, respectively. Broome’s Dylan Ramirez scored a team-high 13 points, followed by Kendre Sinclair and Adam Comer with nine points apiece. The Panthers will continue their trek through region play with a road test against Woodruff (13-1, 5-0) on Tuesday, January 26th. NOTE: The Chapman at Broome varsity girls basketball contest was postponed until Thursday, February 11th at approximately 7 PM. Comments are closed.
