Royals edge Scott 73-72 at The Fieldhouse

Jayden Steward's basket on an inbounds play with four seconds left in the game gave the Mason County Royals a 73-72 victory over the Scott Eagles in a nail biter tonight at The Fieldhouse.

It was the 15th lead change in the game. There were six ties.

Mason County led 67-59 with just over three minutes to play, but committed five turnovers in the closing minutes.

An old fashion three-point play by Nelson Perrin gave Scott a 72-71 lead with 12 seconds to play.

Leevi Dunaway lost the ball driving into the lane, but dived on the ball, and a held ball was called.
The possession arrow pointed to Mason County.

After a Mason County timeout, Jaylen Lofton inbounded the ball to to a wide open Steward who banked in the winning shot.

Scott's heave at the buzzer bounced over the top of the backboard.

The win snapped Mason County's two-game losing streak.
