This game will be discussed and argued about as long as girls’ basketball is played in this region. George Rogers Clark defeated Mason County 56-53 in overtime but the high drama came at the end of regulation. Mason County rallied from 1 41-29 deficit in the third quarter and actually took a 50-48 lead on a basket with Jordan Frodge with two minutes left on the clock. GRC’s Kennedy Igo connected on two free throws to knot the score at 50-50 with 1:28 on the clock. Mason County held the bal for the last shot and thought they had won on a basket by Briana McNutt at the horn.
