District 11-4A wrapped their District Tournament Saturday, February 17th in heartbreaking fashion. Cane Ridge did everything needed to win the game. They lead 54-53 and even secured a defensive rebound off [player_tooltip player_id='1259396' first='Cortez' last='Graham-Howard']'s miss with 7.4 seconds left. Unfortunately, the perfectly-positioned referee declared a travel occurred. Nobody in the gym could believe it. Ever aware Hillsboro Head Coach Rodney Thweatt called a timeout immediately. From the baseline, [player_tooltip player_id='2042562' first='Xavier' last='Washington'] inbounded the ball. Graham-Howard caught an intermediary pass coming off a curl. He rose to shoot from 12', lofted it much too strong, but it banked in perfectly as the horn sounded. Hillsboro won, 55-54.   The Burro players swarmed Cortez, who backpedaled in triumph to the far end of the floor.
