When Isiah Gaiter missed his first free throw with five seconds left in regulation, it looked like an amazing chance to win would slip through Vincent’s hands, but they rescued it with a brilliant overtime to earn a well-deserved win.

JaRon Thames has been a consistent scorer all season for Vincents and the American delivered again with 37 points in the win. Vincents are now tied on four wins with Templeogue but have two games in hand.
