The Warren Harding Raiders (13-3), ranked 10th in the state and 2nd in Division II (as well as being the #1 team in the NE District) were stunned by the Massillon Tigers in Warren tonight. The Tigers lost a lead late in the 4th and went into overtime. They tied the game late in the first overtime on free throws and Warren missed two shots to force a second overtime. The Tigers took a 3-point lead but lost it with under two minutes left. The Tigers tied the game with 20 seconds remaining and Warren missed a shot. The Tigers were fouled with 15 seconds remaining and Isaiah Lamp hit both to give the Tigers a 2-point lead. Massillon stole the ball and a foul plus a technical was committed by Warren. The Tigers’ Thigpen hit both of his shots and Lamp hit 1 of 2 to put the game in the bag. After a couple more free throws, the final buzzer sounded– 72-67 was the final in favor of the Tigers.
