Edmonson County trailed Metcalfe County by two points tonight when Lady Cat freshman center Cariann Williams went to the line after drawing a foul with 25.9 seconds to play. After tying the score with the first one, Metcalfe County called time out in an attempt to "ice the shooter," but the only ice was the water in Williams' veins as she calmly hit the second one to give the Lady Cats a 38-37 lead.

The Lady Hornets called a timeout with 12.2 seconds left to set up their final play where they would go for the game winner. They threw the ball down low but the shot was no good as Edmonson County swiped the rebound with 0.8 seconds left. Lily Jayne Vincent drew the foul and the Lady Cats held on for the win.
