The Manchester boys basketball team defeated their old coach and Tippecanoe Valley 62-57 in overtime Tuesday.
The Squires would lead 14-11 after the first stop. Sam Winger drained two three pointers with Wyatt Schroll also hitting from long range. Dallas Martin tied the score with a bucket before a Scholl three-point play gave Manchester the lead after one.
Valley would score the first four points of the second quarter before the Squires took over. Lincoln Young would hit two free throws before Scholl scored five straight. Aaron Reid would join the three-point club late in the quarter as Manchester led 28-19 at the half.
The Squires went into an offensive drought in the third quarter, letting Valley sneak back to make it 34-31 after three.
Reid would find the hot hand in the fourth and it’s a good thing as Valley was clicking. The Squires would build their lead to 45-40 thanks to 9 points from Reid, but couldn’t lose the Vikings as they come back to grab a 51-50 lead with 29 seconds to play. Reid would then hit from long range again to give Manchester a 53-51 lead before two Valley free throws sent the game to overtime.
After a Young free throw and a Valley buckets the Vikings led 55-54 before the Squire guard squad drove the dagger. Reid would drain his fifth three of the night, followed by a Scroll bucket. Free throws from Martin, Winger and Reid in the last minute sealed the 62-57 win.
