A game-winning shot in front of a packed home crowd against a country rival is one for the memory book. Friday’s Mid-Hoosier Conference game between visiting South Decatur and North Decatur played out just that way.

A desperation 3/4-court shot by South was no good and the Chargers prevailed 71-68.
