Summary

Chase Burnham scored 22 points with 11 rebounds and the Lancers (17-5) topped the Dragons (14-8) 84-81 in triple-overtime on Wednesday in District 7 2B play at West Valley HS.

Liberty advances to play Northwest Christian for the district title on Saturday, with both teams advancing to regionals next week.

Burnham helped force overtime, hitting 3 of 4 from the line late, though neither team scored in the last two minutes of regulation. In the third OT, Justin Jeske drove for a bucket in the paint, the Isaak Ottmar blocked a shot on the next possession. Tyler Haas grabbed the loose-ball rebound, was fouled, and made 1 of 2 at the line.

St. George’s last-second 3-point attempt was no good.

Haas finished with 20 points, Thomas Redder and Jeske added 12 points apiece while Ottmar had 10 points with 10 rebounds.

Erik Farias led St. George’s with 29 points and 14 rebounds. Cade Peplinksi had 28 points and Mitchell Ward added 12.
