LORAIN, Ohio – Deuce Martin took a dribble and two steps before hoisting a shot from three-fourths the court’s length. His shot swished through the net, but was waved off.
No matter, Martin still had 33 points while leading Clearview’s 75-63 overtime win Friday against Oberlin.
The performance helped Clearview win the Patriot Athletic Conference Stripes Division title in a matchup of two teams on the cusp of the cleveland.com boys basketball Top 25. Like a year ago, Clearview has a league crown against its rival.
Oberlin hopes that — like last year — it again turns into a long postseason run.
BEAT THE CLOCK
While Martin’s shot before halftime didn’t count, a few did elsewhere.
None bigger than Jayvon Graves’ 3-pointer that gave No. 2 St. Vincent-St. Mary a 74-72 win at state-ranked Massillon Jackson.
Graves scored 32 points and senior point guard Jon Williams added 18. Logan Hill led Jackson with 18 points, while Kyle Young added 14.
We was the underdogs but look what happened
