A quote from Sturgeon's Trey Chisholm, who hit two free throws with 2.8 seconds left for an 82-80 win: "I wish everyone could feel what I'm feeling right now."
Correction -- it is Sturgeon's first state championship in boys basketball only. Garrett Kelly just confirmed to me the Bulldogs have won two state baseball championships. It's been corrected below.
What an incredible game. The state champion Sturgeon Bulldogs just met the media and it honestly didn't look like what they just did had hit them. First state championship in boys basketball. Down six with three and a half minutes left. Two clutch free throws from Trey Chisholm who scored a career-high 35 points. We'll have all the highlights and reaction from the Bulldogs tonight on KOMU 8 News at Ten.
Chisholm hits the second. Bernie desperation shot off the rim. 82-80 Sturgeon, state champs.
Chisholm hits one. Timeout Bernie.
Bernie missed a point-blank shot. Chisholm is fouled for Sturgeon. He's going to the line with 2.8 seconds left.
Sturgeon steals the ball near midcourt on Bernie's posession. Chisholm is fouled on his way to the hoop. First free throw no good. Second good. Tie game. This is a heck of a game.
Another three.. from Chisholm for Sturgeon. 80-79 Bernie.
A foul near midcourt puts Bernie at the line for free throws. Both are hit. 80-76 Bernie.
In just ten seconds, Sturgeon drives the length of the court and Garrett Kelly hits a three to cut the Bernie lead to 78-76. Big sigh from the Bernie fans. Wow!
One of two of free throws. 78-73.
Bernie drives to the hoop and a foul is called. Free throws to come. 2:08 remaining.
Free throw good, but Bernie answers with a basket. But Sturgeon comes right back for two of its own. 77-73 Bernie with 2:17 remaining. Crowd is going nuts. Almost everyone is on their feet.
Brian went down to shoot the end of the game, but I'll keep you updated. It's 75-70 Bernie now after a Trey Chisholm bucket and foul. Free throw to come.
