    It was only fitting that the Sacred Heart-Round Top-Carmine game went to overtime.

    Either team could hit the side of a barn in regulation or OT before the Indians eked out a 36- 35 victory here Tuesday, Dec. 10.

    Cash Robinson hit two free throws for the Cubs to start the overtime period for a 35-33 lead. After the Indians missed two free throws, a lay up by Andrew Steffek tied the game with 1:06 remaining.

    A Lance Barton free throw provided the difference at 36-35.

    SH took a 9-2 lead at the end of the first quarter before RT-C tied the game at half at 15-all.

    The Indians led 24- 21 after three periods thanks to two buckets and a three by Hudson Kutac.

    An ill-advised foul by the Indians on a threepoint shot sent William Nees to the foul line with no time remaining in regulation. Nees calmly made all three foul shots.

    Scoring: Riley Haas 5, Hudson Kutac 15, Andrew Steffek 12, Brody Etzler 2, Lance Barton 1, Sam Bludau 1.

    Threes: Kutac 2, Haas.
