Unatego rallies in fourth to beat Oxford
Boys’ Basketball
Unatego 66, Oxford 60
OXFORD – Unatego held Oxford to just one field goal over the final five minutes and five seconds, and sealed a fourth-quarter comeback win making 10-of-11 free throws in the last quarter.
Oxford started the fourth quarter on an 11-4 spurt to lead 58-51. Cory Seiler made two free throws, and assisted on three baskets – twice to Jeremy Nelson and one to Zach Barry. Nelson added a driving layup that moved the lead to seven points.
The Spartans’ rally began, fittingly, with two free throws from Dale Rifenbark. Will May drained a three ball after an inbounds play, and May’s two free throws with 2:04 left knotted the contest.
Oxford was plagued by fourth-quarter turnovers, five of those coming during a four-minute dry spell between baskets. Nelson’s jumper from the left elbow tied the game at 60-60, but on the ensuing possession, Cody Komenda’s driving layup on the baseline put his club ahead for good.
Cody Chambers and May downed four free throws in the final 27 seconds.
Nelson finished with a career-high 21 points to go with seven rebounds. Seiler had 14 points and 10 assists, Booker Davis chipped in with 12 points and nine boards, while Barry had 10 points.
May scored 17 to pace Unatego.
Oxford’s junior varsity remained unbeaten winning 77-41 in the prelim.
