Freshman Jacob Edgecomb hit a game-tying three-pointer at the regulation buzzer and senior Kevin Burns drove for the game-winner with six seconds left in overtime as the Garnet Gulls pulled out a thrilling, overtime road win over the Lions.

Lacey senior Ryan Fitzgerald came up with a steal and was fouled with 1.9 seconds left in the fourth and his team up, 65-64. Fitzgerald hit both ends of a one-and-one to extend the lead to three, leaving Point Beach 1.9 seconds to go the length of the floor needing a three to send the game into overtime.

Senior Kyle Kolans fired the inbounds pass to the opposite free-throw line, where junior John Coakley caught the ball over the defender and fired it to the right corner -- all in one motion. Edgecomb was camped out beyond the three-point line and calmly drained the game-tying three-pointer.

Point Beach went up 76-71 in overtime, but Lacey rallied thanks to a pair of three-pointers by junior Logan Brash -- one to cut the deficit to 76-74 and another to give the Lions a 79-78 lead with 35 seconds left.

After an initial miss and a jumpball that gave possession back to Point Beach, the Garnet Gulls got the ball to Burns at the top of the key and the senior drove to the basket for a strong, go-ahead finish.

Brash got off a potential game-winning three-point attempt, but it came up short.

Burns finished with 24 points and Edgecomb poured in 18, while Coakley added a career-high 20 points to go with his clutch assist. Kolans also reached double-figures with 11 points for Point Beach.
