3-pointer with three seconds remaining in overtime to lift Hanford to a 55-52 win over Eastmont.
"(Eastmont) tied it up with 18 seconds left. We were going to go for one shot," said Falcons coach Paul Mayer. "Brennan came off a cut and ended up standing wide open. He swished it."

ABERDEEN, Md. -- The Kennewick American All-Star 12-year-olds lost twice Monday at the Cal Ripken Major/70 World Series at Ripken Academy fields.
The All-Stars opened American Division pool play with a 5-3 loss to the Charles County Chargers of Maryland and followed with a 10-4 loss to Texas Tri-Counties.
But at least the Pacific Northwest regional champions finally were given the greenlight to do what they came to do: play in the best-of-the-best tournament. Heavy rainshowers Sunday tabled Kennewick's originally scheduled debut against the Maryland state champions.
