ADA - Spencerville senior Keegan Goecke banked in a short shot with just under three seconds left to give the Bearcats an extremely hard-fought 37-36 victory at upset-minded Ada Friday night.

Ada clung to a small advantage for most of the Northwest Conference boys basketball battle. But the Bearcats rallied to seize a 32-30 lead with 4:04 remaining after  Dylan Smith calmly drained two free throws.

Goecke's layup off an in-bounds pass gave the visitors a 34-31 edge with three minutes left. A free throw by Josh Henline moments later provided the Bearcats with their biggest lead at 35-31.
