OXFORD — Three frantic shots in the last 10 seconds failed to go down and the horn sounded before it could get up a fourth and Oxford lost a 62-61 heartbreaker to Central of Clay County Monday night at the Sports Arena.
The Lady Jackets led 58-57 with three minutes to go before Aunyah Denny hit one her six 3-pointers to put the Vols’ up 60-58. Tremeria Britt put the Lady Jackets back ahead with a traditional three-point play at 61-60 before Denny’s steal and a layup with 38 seconds left to put Clay Central ahead for good.
It was a see-saw first half that saw the Lady Jackets get off to a quick 7-3 lead only to have the Volunteers go on an 11-point run to open up a 22-16 lead early in the second quarter. Oxford answered with a 10-3 run to regain the lead at 26-25. Denny buried two of her three first-half 3s down the stretch to give the Vols a 32-30 halftime lead.
Tremeria Britt had 19 points for the Lady Jackets. She scored nine straight points on three 3s to put Oxford on top 51-50 early in the fourth quarter. Makayla Kidd and Justyce Smith had 10 points each. Smith stayed in foul trouble most of the night but still grabbed 12 rebounds. Quameria Britt finished with eight points and seven rebounds.
Denny, a sophomore, led all scorers with 26 points. Junior Cassie Ragland had 16 points and 14 rebounds. Freshman Essence Cunningham had 15 points and five boards.

Spring Garden 45, Anniston 40
SPRING GARDEN – Keandra Finley scored a double-double and Miajah Bullock 10 points, but the Lady Bulldogs just didn’t have enough to survive on the road. Finley had 15 points and 11 rebounds to lead Anniston. Spring Garden’s Savannah Dempsey led all scorers with 19 points.
Lincoln 46, Ohatchee 29
