Larry Drew Jr.’s 17-foot jump shot with three seconds left failed to go in, and it’s overtime for the Taft-Riverside King game.

It was a wild fourth quarter. King’s first four baskets of the quarter were three-pointers. Eric Wise gave King a 68-67 lead with 1:26 left on a three-point play. Drew came back with his own three-point play with 1:11 left. Then J.J. Campbell tied the score for King with 49 seconds left at 70-70.

Taft worked for a final shot, but King’s defense was good enough to require another four minutes to decide this one.
