MACON When the Westfield
Hornets forced overtime with
Stratford in the region lAAA conso
lation game Feb. 12, fans had to be a
little skittish. They had seen their
team go into overtime twice before
this season, only to lose both in dou
ble overtime, and one of those losses
was to Stratford.
When the Hornets erased a six
point Stratford lead with an 18-point
fourth quarter, the fans were a little
more confident this time. Brian
Hartley, held scoreless over the first
three quarters, suddenly lit up the
scoreboard with three 3-pointers in
the fourth while Robert Causey was
adding 7 and Chad Ekey came off
the Westfield bench to nail a couple
of pressure free throws as the
, Hornets pulled into a 46-46 tie at the
end of regulation.
The Hornets owned the overtime
period this time. Robert Causey’s
three-point play got the team started
on a 12-2 run in the overtime as
