Kaden Flye’s and-one layup with two seconds remaining gave the Ste. Genevieve boys a thrilling 73-71 win over Potosi.

The first half featured constant frenetic, back-and-forth energy. Potosi used the quick pace to lead by as much as 10, although Ste. Genevieve gradually crawled back into the game to take a 38-37 halftime lead.

The third quarter saw the two teams continue to play even, but Potosi went up by as much as nine in the fourth. Ste. Genevieve used the free throw line to draw close and eventually tie the game multiple times, but Potosi retook the lead late and held it until Flye’s basket secured the win for the Dragons.

After the game, Ste. Genevieve head coach Rob Coleman praised the efforts of Flye, who had 11 points but missed several layups throughout the game.

Potosi head coach Jackson Conaway expressed disappointment with the result, but hoped it could serve as a learning opportunity for his team.

Carter Whitley led Potosi with 27 points. Ricky Hunter led Ste. Genevieve with 22. Ste. Genevieve improves to 14-4 and 3-1 in conference play while Potosi falls to 16-4 and 2-2 in conference play. Ste. Genevieve hosts Farmington next while Potosi hosts North County.
