Sean Flanigan drilled a running, half-court buzzer-beater to draw the Pinecrest boys within 10 of defending Class A-Private champion St. Francis at halftime, and the sophomore guard kept sprinting, all the way to the Paladins’ locker room. St. Francis coach Drew Catlett lingered on the edge of the bench, his eyes trailing as Pinecrest’s entire team chased after Flanigan. Jay Lynch’s team had pestered the Knights and hung around, despite being out-shot and out-rebounded.
