AMERICUS – The action in the Dwight Harris Boys Club (DHBC) Summer Basketball League continues to be exciting, as three of the four DHBC games on Wednesday, June 28, were decided by five points or less.
In the 11U game between the Warriors and the Heat, it was a back-and-forth affair during the entire contest, but with less than 10 seconds left in the game, the Heat’s Aiden Aldridge scored to give his team a 24-22 lead. However, with 0.1 seconds left, the Warriors’ Jaden Galloway was fouled in the act of shooting and had a chance to tie the game and send it into overtime with two made free throws. However, Galloway was only able to make one of the foul shots and the Heat went on to win 24-23. Galloway led all scorers with 14 points.
