Silverdale’s Rachel Sanders (40) and Emily Harkleroad (11) congratulate Megan Lewis (2) who made the game-winning 3-point shot in overtime to defeat Boyd-Buchanan 45-44 Thursday at Silverdale High School.If Silverdale Baptist Academy junior wing Megan Lewis had the goal in mind of going past the 1,000-point mark in her high school career in Thursday’s District 5-A girls’ basketball game at Silverdale, then she achieved it with her final basket against Boyd-Buchanan.
By the way, that basket came from behind the 3-point line with two seconds left in overtime and lifted the Lady Seahawks past the Lady Buccaneers 45-44 in a key early-season district game.
Silverdale (10-3, 3-1) lost when it played Arts & Sciences, which Boyd-Buchanan (7-2, 1-1) beat in its district-opener. Now every team in the league has a loss.
“This kind of ties everything back up,” Silverdale coach Tim Thompson said. “CSAS is fast. Boyd is big. We’re going to have to come up with better game plans the next time.”
The Lady Seahawks came out of a timeout with 10.2 seconds to go in overtime and managed to get the ball to Lewis, who rubbed off teammate Sydney Smith.
