| Commandos to play for 5th place after overtime win |
| The
Abingdon Commandos opened the second half with a
7-0 run to cut a Pleasant Plains halftime lead to
just two points. The game would eventually go
into overtime after a Jake Pierce putback with
:08 remaining tied the game up for Abingdon. The
Commandos allowed only a Pleasant Plains free
throw in the extra session as Abingdon moves to
the 5th place game with a 51-39 overtime win over
tournament newcomer Pleasant Plains. Pleasant Plains (9-3) came into the Macomb-Western Holiday Tournament as the #4 seed but will be heading home without any hardware after back-to-back losses. Corey Gruber led Abingdon (9-2) with 18 points, 15 of which came from beyond the arc. David Bergschneider was 6-of-7 from the field and finished with 14 points and added 14 rebounds for the Cardinals. Abingdon will play for the 5th place trophy tonight at 6:30 where they will face the winner of Canton and Lewistown. |
