Reminds me of Athens vs Meigs this year. Athens was down by 24 or 26 mid way through the 3rd and somehow won. I made the remark at half to my Meigs buddy that we might have to break out the running clock

Re: What’s The Best Game You’ve Ever Witnessed?
A series from 1990, Waterford vs. Beallsville.
Waterford won its first (only?) PVC title that year in a very competitive league race with several incredible come-from-behind wins and at least 5 wins by a single bucket. Early in the season, Waterford overcame 20-point deficits in two different games, one against Beallsville when they hit a 3 to tie with about 30 seconds left (IIRC) and then a put-back basket at the buzzer won it (might have been their only lead of the game). Similar story at Beallsville, where Waterford again overcame a double-digit deficit and ultimately won by two.
Teams met one more time in the Sectional Finals. Seems like this one was close throughout but Waterford again needed a late 3 to tie it up. Unfortunately, there were about 5 seconds left when they hit that shot and Beallsville made a wide open cherry-picked layup off a nearly full court pass at the buzzer to move on.

Chillicothe and Libbey. I sat right in the middle of the Libbey section b/c they were the best seats available (but was obviously rooting for the CAVS). They were a very classy group and really knew the game...great day and memory.

Peebles vs state ranked Summit Country Day. Beau Justices junior year I believe. Maybe 2014. Beau hit a 28 footer in Overtime for the win.
