BOYS: Tuesday, Chambersburg, Mincie top State College
STATE COLLEGE - The Chambersburg boys basketball team was in a good rhythm in the first quarter against Mid Penn Commonwealth Division foe, State College.
But after building an 11-point lead in the first, the game got scrappy, and the Trojans found themselves in a tie game with less than a minute left to play.
"With 32 seconds left, we got the ball to ByShawn (Mincie) and he knocked the shot down like he'd been doing for us all night long," Chambersburg coach Shawn Shreffler said. "He stepped up with a lot of confidence, the ball hit the rim, it bounced up and went through."
Mincie's 3-point shot, and a free throw in the last 30 seconds gave the Trojans the edge they needed to take home a 52-50 win over the Little Lions on the road.
"It was a tremendous win," Shreffler said. "In the first quarter we came out and played very, very well. We really controlled the boards, and we shared the ball well. We got a lot of great looks.
"But in the second, State College started to impose their size more and it became a much more physical game."
After scoring 21 points in the first quarter, Chambersburg (8-9, 5-7 MPC) was limited to just five in the second, heading into halftime with a narrow lead.
But Mincie's last-minute efforts sealed if for the Trojans. He totaled 19 points including four 3-pointers. Cole Christian scored 12.
