Sophomore Jordyn Moser’s clutch jumper kept top-ranked Harlan’s championship hopes alive in Class 4-A.
With the score tied at 50, Harlan got the ball when North Scott was whistled for an illegal screen with 45.2 seconds remaining. The Cyclones held for one shot and coach Zach Klaasen called time with 11.8 seconds remaining to set up a final play.
The ball went to Moser, who drove toward the free throw line on the left side of the floor, stopped and hit the game winner. North Scott got a time out with .6 seconds left, but Harlan’s 6-foot-2 Jess Schaben stuffed the inbounds pass and the clock ran out.
Schaben led Harlan with 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven blocks. Moser finished with 13 points, all in the second half, and Taylor Wagner also scored 13. Schaben and the four other Harlan starters all started on the Cyclones’ volleyball team that won the state championship last fall.
Rachel Edmundson and Evan Hundley each scored 10 points for North Scott and freshman Karli Rucker added nine.
Neither team started a senior in the back and forth game. North Scott’s 3-point shooting helped the Lady Lancers build a 32-24 lead early in the second half before Harlan stormed back on five 3-pointers of its own, including three by Moser.
Moser also stole the ball and sank two free throws for a 47-41 lead with 6 1/2 minutes left. North Scott than rallied and tied it at 50 on two straight baskets by Hundley, setting the stage for the finish.
Harlan, last year’s runner-up, moves to Thursday night’s semifinals with a 24-0 record. North Scott made the tournament for the first time since 2003 and finishes 17-7.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Wichita State sophomore Fred VanVleet has been voted the Missouri Valley player of the year, leading a strong showing by the unbeaten Shockers in the league’s postseason awards. VanVleet received 22 of a possible 36 votes cast by coaches, athletic department officials and the media on Tuesday, easily outdistancing teammates Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker. It’s the first time in the award’s history that a school swept the top three spots.
VanVleet, Baker and Early were joined on the all-Missouri Valley first team by Evansville’s D.J. Balentine, Jake Odum of Indiana State and Seth Tuttle of Northern Iowa. Wichita State’s Tekele Cotton was voted second-team all-conference, while Darius Carter made the all-newcomer team. Cotton and VanVleet were picked for the all-defensive team.
