Dunbar
comes
all
With the Dallas girls bas-
ketball team trailing by 13
points in the second half and
its leading scorer, Ashley
Dunbar, not yet scoring,
things did not look good for
the Lady Mountaineers.
But, then Dunbar took over
the game, matching her sea-
son best with 26 points in the
final 17 minutes as the Dallas
girls rallied for a 62-56 over-
time victory over Holy Re-
deemer during the District 2
Class 3A quarterfinal.
Dallas (14-7) nearly threw
away its chance at overtime
with nine seconds remaining
in regulation,
Redeemer’s Alexis Lewis
made two free throws, giving
the Royals a 50-48 lead. Dun-
bar took the inbounds pass
and raced the length of the
court, making a layup to tie
the game.
The problem?
A timeout had been called
by Dallas coach Kelly John-
son with 4.9 seconds on the
clock. The score did not
count.
Coming out of the huddle,
the Mountaineers worked the

ball to Dunbar who tried to
penetrate along the baseline
but was double teamed by the
Royals and came up short.
The defense over-pursued,
however, leaving Dunbar an
open 8-foot jumper as the
buzzer sounded.
Averaging 12.2 points per
game, Dunbar went scoreless
for the first 18 minutes until
making two free throw for
Dallas’ first points of the
third quarter. Those shots cut
the Royals’ lead to 29-18 and
were enough to ignite the
Mountaineers.
Maggie Michael, filling in
for an injured Sara Flaherty,
made a basket and Englehart,
who had 11 points and ‘11 re-
bounds, had a stickback.
