Oaks win at the buzzer
not sure who shot it, Buzzy was yelling to much

I will tell you what happened when he comes back from the break

Kyle Ondera with an awesome 1:00 of play to end the game.
Key plays by Ondera
-Drives the lane to pull within 1
-Makes a steal off of the inbounds drives and puts the Oaks up 1
-Gets fouled to put the Oaks up two
- Drives the lane and makes a shot at the buzzer to win the game

It's hard to watch Jackson get blown out in most games and then see how good Ondera is doing.

A good type of win for the Oaks...they've done the come from behind things a few times now...that's handy during the tourney knowing that you've done it multiple times before.

Waverly played a great game tonight and should be proud of their effort. This team has now lost 4 games at the buzzer this year. Keep practicing hard Tigers and the wins will come!

Waverly went 6-12 from the line and only shot 2 FT's in the 4th.
Oak Hill was 6-8 from the line in the 4th and 10-16 for the game. Can we say make your foul shots!

Walls lead Waverly with 19 followed by Martin with 13. Arnett, Conley, Murray & Roback each chipped in 6. Conley and Walls hit big 3 pointers in the 4th and Murray hit two key buckets, the last one to tie it at 56 with .25 seconds remaining.

The only thing I would have done different at the end was put Mason Good on Ondera. As good as Murray played he was giving up a foot on the one on one. He got a hand in his face but that's as good as he could do.

The Tigers come back home Tuesday to host the Jeeps. Keep working hard and getting better.

Was the player guarding Ondera 4'11 ?...I get your point but how tall is the player that was guarding Ondera

The player who was guarding Ondera is listed at 5'6"
The other player Tigers2010 mentioned (Good) is listed as 6'4"

Ondera is best when it counts the most.....would Ondera have gotten around the 6'4 player?

He was tough late in the tight win vs Burg

How many did Love, Borden and Hale have?

Tigers2010 &Gucci,

Hindsight 20/20, much better effort by Tiger but poor free throw shooting, continued turnovers time and time again with sloppy undisciplined passing, poor shot selection at critical times and just bad luck (I guess)led to tough loss!!!

Oak Hill 12-1, Waverly 2-9 and we take them to buzzer at their place. This picture is puzzling. Close games will rarely be won when averaging 20 + TO's a game

Oak Hill very talented but so is Waverly!!

Keep heads up Tigers and wins are on the horizon!!

Wow, seems like quite a game. Congrats to the Oaks for the win, but also to the Tigers for climbing out of a slump and putting on one heck of a performance tonight. Would have like to seen a different outcome, but hey, it's high school basketball and anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Keep your head up, Waverly. You've now shown that you can play with the best in the area, so take it for granted and go out there and get some "w's"!

I know this one is a moral victory, but I'm also pretty sure the Waverly kids (and coaches) aren't really concerned with moral victories. These kids are winners...they've won throughout their careers, and I know this season has been disappointing so far. We just can't buy one...but as others have pointed out...how do you consistently lose close basketball games? You consistently lose the turnover and free throw battle. These are two areas we knew we would struggle with at the beginning of the year, so it's not surprising we're having some bad luck, but this much.... We need some love! We also need the same kind of effort from the kids that we've had the last couple of games. They need to use all of these brutal losses to fuel a fire that can come alive this second half. That's the beauty of basketball...everybody gets a ticket to the dance. You don't have to make the playoffs. I know I'm getting way ahead of myself, but I wouldn't want to draw Waverly's number come tourney time, regardless of their seed.

Well said Bookem13,

One would have to wonder what Waverly's record would be if we just averaged 15 TO'S a game and shot 75% from FT line!! In my opinion, 15 and 75 not great but realistic for HS varsity team, I think!
We would not end up in all these close games at end that we can't seem to win.
Moral victory??????

GOOD COMEBACK OAKS!! WAY TO GO

I really expected alot more from Waverly this year. Is it a problem of plenty of athletes but not enough basketball players?

As for Oak Hill....these are the type of wins that'll come in handy come Regionals time. They likely won't be tested in the D4 tourney until that point, so some close games won't hurt.*

Tough loss for the Tigers. It seems like they don't have that killer instinct just yet. They are having trouble finishing teams off.
