Packers defeat St. Francis in overtime
Colquitt, now 3-5, was led by Hill, who had 20 points, including six in the overtime and four in the fourth quarter.
The game was the fifth this season in which Hill has scored 20 or more points.
Hadley had 11, Luis Ballenilla had seven; Berl, Cameron Erving and Amel Magwood each had six; Key had five and Cole Pitts had two.
Key again performed well defensively and came up with perhaps the biggest plays of the night in the closing seconds of regulation.
With the Packers trailing 52-49, Key got a steal near midcourt and sank a layup while being fouled to pull Colquitt to within one with 18 seconds remaining.
He missed the free throw, but almost immediately came up with a loose ball and scored on a short jumper to give the Packers a brief lead.
“Eric Key ... what can you say,” Davis said. “He has the heart of lion.”
Colquitt led by one at the half, but St. Francis had a big third quarter to and took a five-point lead into the final period.
The Knights led by seven at 52-45 with under three minutes left before the Packers made their late run.
Davis had 15 points for St. Francis, which play will at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The Knights fall to 6-4.
The Packers face Stockbridge at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and will close out the tournament against Mt. Zion-Jonesboro at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Dougherty senior Tiffany Anderson proved why she is one of the top players in South Georgia this year, scoring 32 points, including the final seven in regulation and the first two in overtime to lead the Lady Trojans victory.
Anderson, who had five double-doubles in Dougherty’s first seven games this season, had 20 points to help send the Lady Trojans 38-28 halftime lead.
But foul trouble and outstanding defense by Colquitt County Ashley Patillo limited Anderson’s effectiveness for much of the second half.
