    12/28/09 - Chillicothe 54, Putnam Co. 48 OT
at NCMC - Trenton

     Chillicothe needed overtime, after giving up a 12 point halftime lead, to beat Putnam County at the N.C.M.C. Holiday Hoops in Trenton. Chillicothe went on a 10-0 run in the first and early second quarter to help build a 31-19 halftime lead. Putnam County closed the gap to two points by the end of the third quarter.
     After leading only once after the opening shot of the game, Putnam County's Conor Middleton hit the Midget's only trey in 14 team attempts, sinking it from the right wing with one second left to send the game into overtime. Two Zach Douglas free throws were countered with a Blane Robinson bucket to tie the game again.
     The turning point of the game came moments later when the Hornets' Blake Stephens missed a short jumper from the left wing. Alex Thompson grabbed the offensive board on the weak side for the Hornets, stuck it back in and drew the foul. Thompson's one shot at the line was good for the three point play and the Hornets never trailed again. Key free throws down the final two minutes by Bryce Young, Zach Douglas and Blake Stephens helped seal the Hornets second win of the season.
     Chillicothe will play Richmond on Tuesday the 29th at 8:30pm at N.C.M.C.
