The AC/GC Chargers sank 10 of 14 free throw attempts in overtime and grabbed a 72-66 win over the CAM Cougars on Thursday night in boys hoops. The Chargers rallied from 7 points down in the final minute to force the extra session, and then came through at the line. CAM Head Coach Nick Hodges was disappointed that his team didn’t hit the free throws they needed down the stretch in regulation.

It was a good back and forth ballgame for the entire night, with a total of 8 lead changes. The Cougars led at the end of the first 17-14 but the Chargers grabbed a 36-28 lead by halftime, and they lead by four at the end of the third. A scoring error in the fourth quarter made things awkward down the stretch. CAM had jumped in front 58-52 and Jacob Holste headed to the foul line for two shots. He made both free throws but only one was added to the scoreboard. Bryce Littler then hit a three before Nate Hensley was fouled going the other way. Coach Hodges appealed to the officials to check on the score but the home book apparently matched the scoreboard so it was left 59-55 after the Littler 3. Littler eventually buried another three to tie the game at 60, and ultimately send it to overtime.  Coach Hodges said the error shouldn’t have mattered with the lead the Cougars gave away.

AC/GC was led by 19 points from Littler and  17 points from Quynton Younker. The Chargers improved to 6-7 with the victory and they head to Panorama for a conference game on Friday.

CAM got officially 16 points from Jacob Holste and 13 from Ethan Arp. The Cougars fall to 9-4 and have now lost 4 of their last 6 games. The Cougars travel to Ar-We-Va on Friday.
