ATHENS — Muscle Shoals and Russellville added a another classic to their boys basketball rivalry Friday night, and this time it was the Trojans that celebrated a postseason victory.

Russellville’s Will Bostick, who scored 30 points, hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to send the game to overtime tied at 56. But Muscle Shoals, which made 6 of 8 free throws in the extra period, outscored Russellville 8-4 to claim the win and secure a sub-region game next week.

Bostick’s 30 points, that included six 3-pointers, paced Russellville. Jacob Seal finished with 14 points.

Muscle Shoals coach Jody Lanier credited the play of reserves Jalen Triplett and Javian Ramson with sparking the comeback.

“They came in and gave us some energy,” Lanier said. “When they came in, it seemed like we woke up. We started pressing and Jalen got a couple of steals and Javian got a few rebounds.”

Bostick’s 3-pointer to end the third quarter gave the Golden Tigers a 40-32 lead. But Muscle Shoals pulled ahead in the fourth quarter before Bostick sent the game to overtime with his buzzer-beater.

The win was not secure until Ramson hit the second of two free throws with seven seconds remaining.

Muscle Shoals made 17 of 22 free throws, including 13 of 16 in the fourth quarter and overtime.
