There was one sequence in particular that told the story of the Rising Sun boys basketball team's 42-29 triumph over visiting North East in a first round region playoff game Friday night.
The Tigers led 31-22 with less than three minutes left when an Indians player missed a layup. Rising Sun came right back down the floor with Casey Baker feeding Kevin Alkinburg for a layup. Then following a timeout, Rising Sun was slow to return to the court giving North East a chance for an easy basket, but an Indians player fumbled the ball out of bounds. Game over. BOYS BASKETBALL

Two were ill and another had a previous engagement.
