Oak Ridge is in the tournament finals, thanks to a buzzer-beating 12-footer by Bri Dunbar that lifted the Wildcats to a 50-48 win over Morristown West in the second of two exciting semifinal games Friday night.

Morristown West staged a tremendous second half rally when some might have given them up for dead. They were behind the potent Wildcats 32-15 at halftime and trailed by as many as 19 points with 6:21 left in the third quarter.

But they responded to start cutting the gap and used a 15-4 run at one point in the second half to get back in it. They finally tied the count at 44-44 with 2:36 left in the contest when Angel Simms banked in a layup.

The two squads traded blows with Oak Ridge's Khamari Michell-Steen scoring a basket with 35 seconds to go to tie the score.

Morristown West worked the clock down inside 10 seconds but made a turnover, and Oak Ridge got up the floor quickly with Dunbar hitting the basket just prior to the final horn sounding.

Oak Ridge (14-2) was led by Jada Guinn with 25 points while Dunbar finished with 10.

Morristown West (13-2) got 19 points from Blayre Shultz and 13 from Macey Hefner.
