Bobcats shock A-B in overtime, 79-76

PHILIPPI — The West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats shocked the WVIAC’s third-place men’s basketball team in overtime for a signature road win Monday, defeating the Alderson-Broaddus Battlers 79-76.

Kelsey Williams scored two of his team-high 28 points with 1:11 left in regulation to send the game into overtime knotted at 69-69 and Raymond Warren broke a 74-74 tie with 26 seconds remaining in the extra period, scoring an old-fashioned 3-point play to put the Bobcats in the lead for good.

With the win, the Bobcats inched back within two games of .500 at 11-13 and upped their WVIAC record to 8-12. Alderson-Broaddus, who suffered their third loss in their last four games, fell to 16-8 overall and 14-6 in the WVIAC.
