LEFLORE — In postseason play, there's nothing like a buzzer beater to give a team momentum. Just ask the Whitesboro Bulldogs.
Quintin Ludlow's 3-point basket with a second left in regulation capped a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback for the Bulldogs as they pulled out a 33-31 victory over the Kinta Eagles in the Class B Regional Tournament on Thursday night at the Leflore High School gym.
The win put the ’Dogs (20-7) into tonight's regional title game against the Red Oak Eagles at 8 p.m. at the Wilburton High School gym. Both the Bulldogs and the Eagles will advance to next week's Class B Area Tournament in Kingston.
