FIELDALE-COLLINSVILLE WINS THRILLER

It took three overtimes and a last-second shot by Tonche Dotson, but Fieldale-Collinsville came out a winner Wednesday night, defeating William Byrd 69-68 in a non-district boys' basketball game.

Junior guard Thad Wade twice saved Fieldale-Collinsville (5-3), standing alone at the free-throw line with no time left in regulation for two free throws that tied the score 55-55, then banking in a short jumper for a 64-64 tie at the end of the second overtime.

In the third overtime, Byrd's David Robertson sank two free throws for a 68-67 lead with less than a minute remaining. Fieldale-Collinsville then ran about 20 seconds off the clock before Dotson hit the winner, a jumper from the free-throw line with one second left. Byrd was unable to get off a final shot.

Wade led the Cavaliers with 14 points and five assists. Kerwin Hairston and Scott Chitwood added 13 points each, and Mario Walker had 10. \
