COLLINS 71, MADISONVILLE 70 -- OT

Our third quarterfinal provided a promising Top 5 matchup as No. 3 Madisonville took on No. 4 Collins. Collins clawed their way back from a large halftime deficit to extend the game to overtime before advancing to the KOB semifinals for the second straight year. 

K’suan Casey & Kenny White put on a showcase early in the game for Madisonville with the Maroons’ seniors combining for Madisonville’s first 14 points to build an early 14-4 lead. Collins’ Dayvion McKnight would cut the Madisonville lead to 8 points on two different occasion, but the Titans trailed 18-8 at the end of one quarter. An old-fashion three-point play by Kenny White extended the Madisonville lead back to 12 points early in the second quarter. A pair of three-pointers by Marcellus Vail and Tyson Turner two minutes later capped an 8-0 run for Collins to trim their deficit to 19-24. K’suan Casey and Marquise Parker came through with a pair of key buckets each as the Madisonville lead swelled back to 35-23 by halftime.

Ten points by Dayvion McKnight propelled Collins on a 17-3 run to start the second half claiming their first lead at 40-38 midway through the third quarter. A pair of three-pointer by Vail and McKnight late in the third quarter would extend the Titans lead to as many as five points at 50-45. A pair of free throws by Keshawn Stone capped an 11-4 run by Madisonville that put the Maroons back ahead 61-59 with 2:39 remaining. Collins would tie the game back with 1:29 remaining on a Josh Scriber basket with the assist from Marcellus Vail. Kenny White would put the Maroons back ahead 65-63 on the ensuing possession and a Keshawn Stone free throw with 15.7 seconds remaining would extend the Madisonville lead to 66-63. A clutch three-point basket from the corner by Collins’ Marcellus Vail with 1.1 seconds remaining would send the game to overtime tied at 66-66

Madisonville’s Kenny White and Collins’ Aaron Thompson would exchange baskets in the opening minute of the overtime period to keep things knotted up at 68-68. A pair of free throws by White with 2:37 remaining would put Madisonville back ahead 70-68. Thompson would counter with another OT field goal on Collins’ next possession to tie game at 70-70 with two minutes to play. A steal by Collins’ Dayvion McKnight on the next possession would give the Titans the ball back and eventually send Tyson Turner to the free throw time. Turner would connect on 1-of-2 free throws with 1:16 remaining to put Collins ahead 71-70. A crazy final 71 seconds saw the Titans miss their final five free throw attempts and Madisonville miss their final three field goal attempts giving Collins the narrow 71-70 victory.
