Five minutes defined a classic.
The brief span of time came during the Gary Filbert Classic at Mexico High School’s Sports Complex on Saturday. And the contestants had slowly been building to the frantic finish since the tip.
That the Trojans edged Harrisburg 40-35 at the buzzer when the game hung in the balance moments earlier had to do with a steal, a miss and a big play.
The steal came on Harrisburg’s end of the court. Community R6 committed three to a trap and forced a loose ball. Breanna Beamer anticipated a turnover and took off down the court, scooping up the ball along the way.

It’s quite possible Slater’s starting five still have nightmarish visions of Alexis Welch and Sarah Angel.
The pair combined for 35 points – 18 for the former, 17 for the latter. To add to the carnage, Welch nabbed 10 rebounds and Angel picked Slater pockets five times as Community overwhelmed the Wildcats 52-21 on Friday.
Much of the damage came during at 22-9 third quarter charge. Head coach Bob Curtis attributes the surge to the Trojans play on the defensive side. Harrying Slater with a zone press, they created multiple turnovers leading to fast breaks, leading to points.
