[SUPER=03-Roanoke/Flight vs. Dazzle; :00]
The Dazzle was dead even in the win-loss column at 21-and 21 coming in.
Terrence Shannon did his best to get the club over the .500 mark. Shannon nails the jumper from the top.
Later, Lonnie Harrell answers for the Flight on the break, and Huntsville was within a point.
