Cleveland s Seniors Lead Blue Raiders Past Cookeville, 55-54
Grant Hurst Leads Blue raiders With 18 Points Saturday, February 27, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
Senior shooter Klay McGowan has played in dozens of big games for the Cleveland Blue Raiders, and they have often looked to him to make a play in crucial situations. With only a few seconds left and with Cleveland up by three, they needed him to hit at least one free throw to make it a four-point game. And so McGowan took a few deep breaths, went into his routine, and took the free throw…….
Cookeville’s ensuing last-second three pointer was effectively nullified, and Cleveland walked away with the narrowest of playoff victories, a 55-54 win over the visiting Cavaliers in the Region 3-A quarterfinals.
