NEW KNOXVILLE – The visiting Ada High School boys basketball team edged non-conference rival New Knoxville in the final seconds of a seesaw 48-46 battle Tuesday, December 17.

Bulldog sophomore Carson Conley sank a tie-breaking layup with 4.3 seconds left to give the visitors a two-point lead. Ada had a foul to give and fouled NK, forcing them to in-bound the ball on the sideline with three ticks to go.

The Rangers got off a contested 25-footer at the buzzer, but it didn’t even touch the rim to preserve the win.
