Otselic Valley 44, Blessed Virgin Mary 43

SOUTH OTSELIC – Blessed Virgin Mary was denied the winning basket with less than 10 seconds to play as Otselic Valley corralled the missed shot and ran out the clock in an opening-game win Tuesday.

“It wasn’t particularly well played by either team today, and kind of what you expect from a first game,” said OV coach Dave Loomis. “It was close the whole way, and it is a good way to start the season.”

Sophmore Jason Olin and senior Brandon Huntley led the Vikings with 11 points apiece. The Vikes host Tyburn Academy on Thursday.
