BTW-Tuskegee Misses Last Second Shot, Falls 54-52 in 4A State Championship Game
Anniston High School senior guard
Malcolm Carlisle scored 28 points Thursday to lead the Bulldogs to a 54-52 victory over Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee. It was the school’s first state title under
Coach Torry Brown’s watch and the school’s first since 2009.
Carlisle had a steal and a 3-point basket in in the final second of the third period to turn what had been a two-point deficit five seconds earlier into a 41-38 lead heading into the final quarter. It was a big play at the time but no one knew just big it would be until the Golden Eagles’ last-ditch shot for a chance to tie or win bounced off the rim at the buzzer to give the Bulldogs (27-6) the win.
