The Cincinnati Enquirer
Alex Thinnes sank a free throw with 40 seconds remaining, giving Taylor a 50-49 victory over previously undefeated Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy at Taylor.
CHCA, ranked No.8 in the Enquirer's poll, had gone into a stall in the fourth quarter with 4:30 remaining and holding a two-point lead. But the Eagles turned over the ball and the Yellowjackets capitalized to tie the game 47-47.
Tim Kroeger then sank two Taylor free throws before Thinnes went on to provide the clincher.
