There wasn’t much to savor from the last two minutes of Tuesday night’s PIAA Class 4A boys basketball quarterfinal game.
Not the missed free throws. Not the five-footers clanked off iron, the traded turnovers, the Archbishop Carroll players – yes, plural – dashing off the court to quickly change blood-stained jerseys.
But with a dozen seconds remaining and Montour forward Isayh Mosley flying in from the weakside on what appeared to be an unabated path to a game-tying basket, Blake Deegan supplied a moment well worth treasuring.
Deegan’s block, his fourth of the night, denied Montour’s last best chance, helping Carroll survive a nervy second half with a 56-54 win at Penns Valley High School.
