Betsy Layne Advances

Betsy  Layne went into the second round of the All “A” Classic on Feb 4, 2011 at EKU.  Their opponent was West Carter, and this game would be fought harder and last longer than anyone expected.  Betsy Layne for this game made 20 of 53 field goals shooting 37.7%, made 4 of 13 3-point field goals for 30.8%, made 14 of 23 free throws for 60.9% and had 42 rebounds.  This game would go into overtime and being the late game of the tournament wouldn’t get over until after midnight. With under 12 seconds remaining in overtime and after Betsy Layne gained a 2 point lead, West Carter received the ball out of their timeout.  They had to run entire floor and could either tie with a two and possible send it into another overtime or take the lead and possibly win the game. West Carter would drive the ball and go up for a quick shot, but Betsy Layne would block the shot and know the ball out of bounds with seconds winding down.  One referee signaled out of bounds possession West Carter and one referee signaled end of game, and that referee would overrule the other and end of game would be called.  This call gave Betsy Layne another win and a chance to advance with a final score of Betsy Layne 58, West Carter 56 in overtime.  West Carter would fall to 16-6 on the season.  Betsy Layne would improve to 16-5 on the season and advance to the next game in the tournament to play Danville (W-L: 14-7) on Feb. 5, 2011 set to tip at 2:30 pm.
