Conway vs. Carolina Forest Nail Biter

Not even the promise of snow with accumulation could keep the crowd away as cross-town rivals met Friday night.  Conway High School hosted Carolina Forest and the evenly split crowd definately got their money's worth.

The Lady Panthers were in the lead at half time with 26 to 17, but the Tigers came back strong to end up tying the game 42 to 42 with 4.0 seconds to go. It was thought to go into over time until Julia Crews made a lay up at the buzzer.  The final score was 44 to 42.

The boys game was also pretty close with the Panthers leading the whole game. However, Conway was not far behind.  Conway had the ball trailing by 2 as time was winding down.  The Tigers bid for the win fell short as Adrian Lane's three point attempt hit the front of the rim as time expired. The final was 45 to 43 with Carolina Forest taking the win.
