PLUMMER’S CLUTCH FREE THROWS SINK COUGARS: It may have been Senior Night on Monday night, but it was a freshman who saved the day for the Knights in their second-to-last district game.

The Crockett Cougars led by three in a low-scoring first quarter, but the Knights roared back with an 18-6 run throughout the second quarter to lead by nine at the half. 

The Cougars cut the Knight lead to one point, but senior Kalab Manor ended the quarter on a high note for the home team, sinking a half-court buzzer beater giving the Knights a four-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Cougars regained the lead by scoring seven points in the first three minutes of the third quarter. The Knights responded to tie the score, and the teams traded baskets in a tense final stanza. 

With 20 seconds left on the clock, the Cougars held the ball and a one-point lead, making the Knights’ prospects for a Senior Night victory look bleak, but then the Knights stole the ball, and freshman Ethan Plummer was fouled with about 17 seconds remaining on the clock. 

“I was a little nervous,” Plummer said. “But I had all the guys telling me, ‘This is what you're made for; this is what you do best.’”

Plummer dribbled the ball at the free throw line, eyed the basket and launched his first free throw attempt. Nothing but net. The score was now tied. He repeated his pre-shot routine and fired again...swish. The crowd erupted in applause and cheering. After a final shot by the Cougars missed the mark, the Knights had escaped with a crucial 36-35 district win. 

“That's my last home game with the seniors, and I've really gotten close with a lot of them, so I was glad to get the win for them,” Plummer said.

The Knights close the regular season next Tuesday on the road at Northeast.
