After trailing for much of Tuesday night’s game, a three pointer by sophomore Zach Schneider with just 31.6 seconds left on the clock brought the Lancers within one point of Olathe Northwest, setting the stage for a dramatic comeback win at home.
Alas, it was not to be.
On the ensuing play, the Lancers fouled 6’4″ Northwest forward Shavon Shields, sending him to the free throw line with the chance to extend the Ravens’ lead to three. But Shields missed the first free throw of a one-and-one, giving the Lancers the ball back with 11 seconds left and trailing by one.
After an SM East timeout to work out their potential game-winning shot, the Lancers inbounded, but barely got a dribble in before the ball was knocked away. They failed to get off a shot, and lost 43-42.
The Lancers’ skid is now at three games, and they have an even record of 4-4.
