SOUTH’S JACKSON HITS GAME-WINNING SHOT
Staff reports
DAYTON — After a putback with three seconds left in the game gave Dayton Christian a one-point lead, South’s Amanda Jackson canned a 12-foot bank shot with two seconds remaining to give the Wildcats a wild 48-47 non-conference victory in girls basketball action Tuesday night.
“We went in and won ugly,” said South coach Lee Ann Ballard, whose team improved to 8-4. “This is four in a row. We are winning, and we are playing to get a good seed in the (postseason) tournament so we don’t have to play any of the best teams early.”
Jackson had 19 points to lead the Wildcats, while teammate Shawna Lollis added 11. For Dayton Christian (6-7), Sarah Martin had a game-high 21 points.
SOUTH (48) — Lollis 5 0-0 13, Bell 1 0-2 2, Jackson 8 3-5 19, Rogers 0 2-4 2, May 3 0-0 6, Sha. Portis 2 0-1 4, Bray 1 0-0 2. Totals: 20 5-12 48.
DAYTON CHRISTIAN (47) — Wilson 1 0-0 2, Martin 7 2-2 21, An. Serinius 1 2-2 4, Pugh 1 0-1 2, Am. Serinius 1 1-2 3, Stiffler 4 0-0 9, Bauman 1 4-10 6, Russell 0 0-2 0. Totals: 16 9-19 47.
Three-point goals: South 3 (Lollis 3); Dayton Christian 6 (Martin 5, Stiffler). Records: South 8-4; Dayton Christian 6-7.
