Skyline rallies to defeat Huntland in OT
Published November 24, 2009
The Skyline Vikings used a second-half comeback to earn a win on Tennessee soil Friday night.
Skyline defeated host Huntland 75-68 in overtime Friday night in Huntland, Tenn.
The Vikings trailed for most of the night before forcing overtime on a jumper in the lane by Travis Sisk with 16 seconds remaining in regulation.
Skyline (3-2) then outscored Huntland 11-4 in the extra session to secure the win.
"That was a really good win for us," said Skyline coach Derek Wynn. "The kids know now that we can come back and win a game like that. We came out flat, but we really played well in the second half and overtime."
Skyline trailed 23-14 after one quarter, 35-29 at halftime and 47-43 entering the fourth.
Nick Talley led five Vikings in double figures with 25 points, while Jacob McClennan added 20. Sisk finished with 15 points and 10 assists while Christian Treece chipped in 14 points.
Joseph Wilkinson scored 28 points for Huntland, which was playing its season opener.
Skyline returns to the court tonight, hosting Valley Head in Class 1A Area 14 play. It's the first of six straight area contests for the Vikings.
• Woodville 42, Collinsville 41 — At Woodville, the host Panthers edged Collinsville in a low-scoring game Friday night.
Woodville (3-2) led 12-10, 22-17 and 32-31 at the quarter breaks. Trailing by one, Collinsville (0-2) got possession with less than three seconds left underneath Woodville’s basket. Collinsville threw a long pass into the front court but Woodville deflected it and time expired without Collinsville attempting a shot.
"We were able to save ourselves with our defense," said Woodville coach Bo Harding. "We really struggled offensively, making unforced errors and missing free throws. But our defense was pretty good all night."
Coty Durham's 15-point, 10-rebound double-double led Woodville, which also got 11 points from Jacob Maynard. Nathan Coker scored 14 points and Tyler Tidmore added 11 for Collinsville.
