ARLINGTON — Coming down to the final seconds with the score tied at 43-43, Bartlett Lady Panthers Head Coach Lynn Whitfield was going to set up a play for her star player  Charity Savage.

Lady Panthers v Lady Cougars RegionalsAll those in attendance in the Arlington Gymnasium watching the Region 7-3A Girls Basketball Tournament Semifinal contest was fully aware the play would go to Savage. The opposing Munford Lady Cougars and their Head Coach Steve Poindexter tried to get the double-team over in time.

But Savage made a clean catch of the basketball in the low block. The senior heading to Middle Tennessee State made her move and launched a fade-away jumper. The ball bounced on the rim with 3 seconds remaining on the clock.

After a few bounces, the ball finally fell through the net as the buzzer sounded. The Lady Panthers were victorious 45-43 and the Munford Lady Cougars’ 2015-16 season was over with a 19-12 record.
