Roach’s game-winner leads Oxford past the Bobcats in MAC showdown
OV picks up second straight victory
BAINBRIDGE – With 2.2 seconds left in the game, Oxford’s head coach Booker Davis called a timeout to draw up a play to score the game-winner.
Out of the quick break in the action, the play was designed to go to the corner for the Oxford senior Matt Roach. Roach quickly caught the ball and fired up the shot.
The picture perfect ending for a battle between Bainbridge-Guilford and the Blackhawks ended with Roach draining the shot from the baseline corner to steal the 47-44 win over the Bobcats Thursday night.
“I was actually shocked he was able to get open and get the shot off, as I’m pretty sure everyone in the gym knew I wanted the ball to go to [Matt] Roach,” said Davis.
Oxford tied the game at 41-41 with 2:50 left and took the lead 20 seconds later. The Blackhawks held onto the slight advantage until the third 3-pointer of the quarter fell with 38 seconds remaining in the game, tying the contest once again at 44-44.

In the third, Bainbridge-Guilford’s Trent Thornton registered 12 of his game-high and career best 21 points to give his team a 35-33 lead with just one quarter of play remaining.
The final eight minutes saw the Bobcats take a 41-35 lead before the Blackhawks clawed their way back into the game and Roach knocked down the game winner.
Roach finished with 13 while teammate Owen Marvin ended up with a team-best 14 points spread throughout the game. Pleasie Hughey III also finished in double figures, scoring 12.

To go along with his career high, Thornton dished out four assists. Burns finished with nine points and seven rebounds, tying teammate Ryan Porter in the rebounding column. Michael Stevens chipped in 11 points in the loss.
