Jahmius Ramsey scored 32 points for the Summit Jaguars in a 62-60 win. The Jags scored just single digits twice with seven in the first and eight in the third, but were able to outscore the Eagles 17-10 in the fourth to tie the game after regulation.

The Centennial Spartans, who won 56-52, trailed by five with under three minutes left in the fourth quarter, but Anthony Hunter converted a 3-point play at the 2:36 mark, and Nate Adcox tied the game with a 3-pointer with 49 seconds left.

In the first overtime, Hayden Smith gave the Spartans a 50-46 lead, but Cleburne’s Jacob Gray had back-to-back baskets with 59 seconds to play. In the second overtime, the Yellowjackets had the ball with a chance to tie, but committed a turnover with 8.5 seconds left, and Smith hit a pair of free throws down the stretch.
