A furious fourth quarter pushed the Switzerland County Lady Pacers into overtime on Friday night in the semifinal of the South Ripley Sectional, and the offensive streak continued in the extra time, and the Lady Pacers moved on to the Sectional title game with a 40-35 victory over Southwestern.
The opening quarter was a slow one, as the Lady Pacers accounted for just six points on a field goal and two freethrows from Nora Hankins and two freethrows by Keirstan Oeffinger; but the Switzerland County defense was also working hard, as the Lady Rebels were held to just a single point a freethrow by Ellie Foley and that gave Switzerland County a five point lead after one.
