BUCHANAN'S JUMPER WITH 2.3 SECONDS LEFT LIFTS CLARION PAST LOCK HAVEN

CLARION – Chris Buchanan’s 5-foot jumper in the key with 2.3 seconds left lifted Clarion to a 76-74 win over visiting Lock Haven Wednesday night at Tippin Gym.

Clarion (11-11 overall, 3-5 PSAC-West) had the ball out of bounds under the hoop with 4.9 seconds left when Terrance Vaughns found Buchanan in the key for the game-winning shot. Vaughns then sealed the win with a steal at the horn.

The Golden Eagles trailed by five points, 74-69, following 12-2 Lock Haven run with 2:37 left to play.

Leon Kennedy got Clarion back to within three with two free throws with 2:22 to go. Rodney Armstrong then missed two free throws for Lock Haven before Buchanan tied the game with a 3-pointer with 45.7 seconds left also off a Vaughns pass.

Lock Haven’s J.F. Leveque then missed a 3-pointer with 26.7 seconds to play with the rebound going out of bounds to Clarion.

The Golden Eagles led by 15 points late in the first half before Lock Haven trimmed the deficit to 40-34 at halftime thanks to a half-ending 13-4 run.

Clarion got the lead back up to nine points a couple of time – the last at 53-44 17:37 to play – before Lock Haven started to chip away.

The Bald Eagles tied the game at 67 on a Michael Dye 3-pointer with 5:45 to go before a Buchanan jumper gave Clarion the lead back at the 5:06 mark.

Lock Haven then retied the game on a Dye layup with 4:19 to go and then took its first lead of the game on a Billy Arre layup at the 3:26 mark before Dye gave the Bald Eagles the 5-point lead on a trey at 2:37.

Armstrong, though, missed four straight free throws in the final 1:45 to open the door for Clarion.

Ricky Henderson led Clarion with 24 points and nine rebounds, while Buchanan had a double-double, his third consecutive double-double, with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Kennedy added 16 points and six rebounds, while Vaughns had 10 points and seven assists.

Clarion played the game without two regulars -- Bobby Franklin and Michael Clarke -- who both missed the game with injuries.

The Golden Eagles return to action next Wedensday (Feb. 15) at Slippery Rock. Game time is 8 p.m. The game can be heard on WCUC-FM, 91.7 in Clarion and on the internet at www.redzonemedia.com.
