Oak Ridge’s Wesley Hill goes up for a shot late in the fourth quarter in Tuesday night’s district game vs. College Park.

Junior forward Dax Deboer grabbed a loose ball and passed to a streaking McKinley Green for a fast break lay-up at the other end of the floor as College Park edged Oak Ridge 71-67 in double overtime at Oak Ridge Tuesday night.

“Our kids persevered and made some great defensive adjustments in not letting them (Oak Ridge) get into the lane in the overtime period,” said Cavaliers Head Coach Clifton McNeely.

College Park (12-12, 1-2) led by as much as 18 points in the first half and took a 13-point lead into the final quarter.
