BAYTOWN — Reid Garrett’s buzzer-beating three-point basket got Nederland into overtime of a 5A boys basketball bi-district game against Humble.

They needed one more set of heroics to take it to double overtime.

Humble, the District 21-5A champion, held on after making two insurance free throws to beat Nederland 59-56 on Tuesday. The loss ended the Bulldogs’ season at 26-10.

Nederland got a steal after Darrell Jones made two free throws, and Garrett capitalized when his three-ball beat the buzzer. Nederland pulled within one point twice in the final seconds, but Humble (28-6) answered with a pair of free throws both times.

Humble led 23-20 at halftime and 34-28 going into the fourth.

Jones led the Bulldogs with 18 points. Kevin Howard ruled the paint with 14 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, Garrett finished with 10, and Hayden Hefner chipped in eight points.

PINEYWOODS 100, SABINE PASS 93

JASPER — Jamyus Jones did everything he could to advance Sabine Pass to the 2A area round.

He scored 55 points, making 60 percent from the field and all four of his free throws. He added two assists.

But Jones and Sabine Pass were still eight points shy of victory.

Two Pineywoods Community Academy players each scored 30 or more points Tuesday in a bi-district playoff, and the Timberwolves dodged the Sharks with a 100-93 win.

Jones hit 24 of 40 from the floor in all 32 minutes of work, as the Sharks (8-18) tried to storm back from an 81-68 deficit through three periods. Pineywoods, of Lufkin, led 49-48 at halftime.

“They had a great game tonight,” SP coach Scott Hagedorn said of Pineywoods. “The third quarter and rebounding got us, but they played extremely hard and left it all out there.”

But Jones scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to give the Sharks a chance. They had pulled within 96-90 with 25 seconds left.

Daniel Sam added 28 points for SP, making 11 of 14 free throws in the process.

Pineywoods had four players score in double figures, led by Michael Williams’ 32 and MaRozzney House’s 31.

“The first one came in the first half with one minute left when we didn’t clear the lines,” Nederland coach Torrey Gomez said. “The second was at the end of the second half off a free kick. It was one of those games when you feel the soccer gods aren’t smiling on you as we played rather well. We created plenty of chances and were a bit unlucky.”
