&#8220It’s a really big win for us,” WC coach Donny Fuller said. &#8220When you consider that Wingfield was preseason number six in the state, we were on the road and they had just beaten us by 13, yeah it’s big.”

With the game tied at 54 in overtime, Willis hit a basket to give WC a two-point lead. Doyle then took a charge with 3.5 seconds to play, giving possession back to WC. Doyle was then fouled and hit both free throws to end the game.
