Another overtime. Another sectional championship for Teutopolis High School boys basketball.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Kremer got to the rim for a layup with mere seconds remaining in regulation at Friday\u2019s Class 2A Tolono Unity Sectional championship, tying the score at 29 and forcing overtime against Warrensburg-Latham just three days after Gavin Addis made a similarly clutch shot at the buzzer to get the Wooden Shoes to overtime in a semifinal triumph over Monticello.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the semifinals, T-town managed to get the job done in overtime as it dispatched Warrensburg-Latham 37-35 and advanced to Monday\u2019s SIU-Carbondale Super-Sectional for the fourth straight year and the fifth time in seventh-year coach Chet Reeder\u2019s tenure with Teutopolis.<\/p>\n<p>Second-seeded T-town (24-10) never held a second-half lead until the overtime period but also never allowed the Cardinals to stretch their advantage past two possessions; Warrensburg\u2019s six-point edge during the second quarter was the widest gap either team enjoyed in a game that was 12-10 in the Shoes\u2019 favor after a quarter and then took an even lower-scoring, more physical turn from that point on.<\/p>\n<p>Kremer had his best scoring output of the postseason, leading all players with 12 despite being limited to four free throws throughout the first three quarters. Henry Thompson buried a pair of first quarter triples and finished with eight, while Mick Niebrugge scored six and grabbed the biggest offensive rebound of the game late in overtime after a crucial 0-for-2 trip to the line for the Shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Drew Hoene scored five, but his lone field goal was a monster game-tying three during overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams shot poorly from the line down the stretch and just in general; T-town was 11-for-31 from the field and hit just 48 percent of its 25 free throws, while the Cardinals hit 13 of 33 field goals and 8 of 16 foul shots. Both teams also defended relentlessly despite the turnover numbers being a respectable 10 to 12 in Warrensburg\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>The third-seeded Cardinals (30-5) left Unity High School without their first sectional plaque since 2008. Brayden Hickey led Warrensburg with 10 points but also had a crucial call go against him when he attempted a dunk very late in regulation that would\u2019ve put his Cardinals ahead by four and not only missed the attempt but also drew a basket interference call &#8212; although not a technical foul &#8212; as he hung on the rim with the ball still rolling around on the back iron.<\/p>\n<p>It was a measure of revenge for Teutopolis after losing a home game with Warrensburg on Jan. 18 by a 47-40 final.<\/p>\n<p>The Shoes will face a No. 1 seed in Belleville Althoff at the SIU-C Super-Sectional; the Crusaders were 56-44 winners over Breese Central to claim the Carterville Sectional. Tip-off Monday is slated for 6:30 p.m. in a game that will be heard on KJ Country 102.3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class 2A Tolono Unity Sectional<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overtime<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TEUTOPOLIS (37)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kremer 3-6 &#8212; 12, Thompson 2-2 &#8212; 8, Niebrugge 3-0 &#8212; 6, Addis 0-0 &#8212; 0, Hoene 1-2 &#8212; 5, B.
