Late
Lion Bucket Earns Win
(1-6-12)

Johannsen’s bucket at the buzzer gave the visiting Louisville
Lions a 54-52 win over the Palmyra Panthers.
With the score tied with :08 seconds left in the game, the Lions took
the ball the length of the court, getting the ball into the hands of
point guard Skyler Deloske, who got into the lane before pitching the
ball off to Johannsen for the game-winning shot.
“This feels great,” said Johannsen, a 6’ 2”
sophomore forward. “This is a once in a lifetime experience. We
did nothing different from what we’ve done in practice.”
“Four different Louisville players touched the ball in the final
seconds,” said Lions’ head coach Colin Lansman. “They
were all willing to share the rock.” After an LHS timeout, Jake
Snodgrass started the game-winning play by passing the ball into Tucker
Anderson, who found Deloske open at mid-court.
Earlier, it appeared that late game heroics wouldn’t be needed
as Louisville held a 29-20 lead at the intermission and a 43-29 lead
going into the final period.
But the pesky Panthers scored 14 straight points to open the fourth
quarter, tying the game at 43-43 with 4:19 to play. The Lions managed
to regain the lead, going ahead by as many as six points with 1:04 remaining
at 51-45 before Palmyra made one final push, outscoring Louisville 7-1
in the final seconds to tie the game at 52 all before Johannsen’s
buzzer beater.
“I’m happy for the win,” said Lansman after the court-side
celebration. “But we lost the big lead and an opportunity to get
a big win, one that would show that we’re a good team. We played
so well earlier, especially on defense, but we stopped transitioning,
stopped playing good defense and stood around on offense. We need to
create a killer instinct.”
But a win is a win and the Lions will gladly take it, especially over
an ECNC foe, improving their season mark to 3-6 while the Panthers fall
to 1-9.
Louisville travels to Syracuse (2-9) on Saturday for a 4:30 varsity
contest against the Rockets.
