mounts huge comeback to beat Logos in overtime
The Summit Academy Patriots’ only loss this year was to Logos and for 3 quarters it appeared the Knights were going to give them their second loss Saturday, Jan. 3 at Moscow, but a 16 point rally in the fourth quarter sent the game into overtime where Summit pulled out a 65-57 win. 
Tyler Krogh scored to open the game but Summit would not lead again until late in the fourth quarter as Logos answered with a 3-pointer that started a 2-13 run. Summit trailed 8-13 at the end of the first quarter. The Patriots cut the deficit to 2 when Nathan Beckman opened the second quarter scoring with a 3-pointer but Logos then scored the next 7 points. Logos went on to build a 16-30 lead late in the quarter before Patrick Chmelik scored a couple of baskets late to cut the halftime deficit to 20-30. Summit never got any closer than that 10-point deficit in the third quarter and when Logos scored with 25 seconds left the Knights had their biggest lead of the game at 29-45. The fourth quarter got off to a quiet start with Dean Stubbers making a free throw to cut the lead to 15. Logos then came downcourt and jacked up a 3-pointer which missed with Chmelik grabbing the rebound. That led to a Chmelik putback on the other end. Another missed 3-pointer by Logos led to a 3-pointer by Krogh that cut the deficit to 10. A steal by Krogh led to a basket inside by Josh Lustig. Another missed shot by Logos that was rebounded by Summit led to a basket by Chris Osborne. Lustig then finished off a 12-0 Summit run that cut the lead to 4 when he put back his own missed shot with 3:25 left. Logos broke the Summit run with a 3-pointer but Summit responded with a pair of free throws by Chmelik. A Logos basket pushed the lead back to 7 at 43-50 with 1:30 left but Chmelik scored inside 21 seconds later to cut the lead to 45-50. With 50 seconds left Chmelik scored a pair of free throws on a flagrant foul to cut the lead to 47-50. With Summit also getting the ball out of bounds after the flagrant foul, Osborne scored on a feed from Krogh to cut the lead to 49-50 with 38 seconds left. A steal by Krogh led to a basket that gave Summit their first lead with 14 seconds left at 51-50. Summit fouled Logos’ Paul Ryan with 10 seconds left but Ryan was only able to tie the game at 51 as he missed the second attempt of a 1 and 1. Summit then appeared to blow their chance of winning as Krogh and Lustig couldn’t connect on the inbounds pass Ryan’s missed free throw had gone out off of a Logos player. Fortunately for Summit, Logos missed their game-winning shot attempt at the buzzer as the game went into overtime. A putback by Chmelik opened the overtime scoring and Summit never trailed again. Logos cut the lead to 1 but a steal by Thomas Schwartz led to a 3-pointer by Krogh that gave Summit a 4-point lead. Logos cut the lead to 2 but Summit finished came back with a 5-0 run to lead by 7.

Schwartz each converting a pair of free throws.
