Patrick's buzzer beater in overtime sends Oak Mountain to victory

Yeadon Patrick snuck away from the defense and Wyatt Armstrong found him all alone under the basket for a buzzer-beating, game-winning layup in overtime, as Class 7A No. 5 Oak Mountain defeated Class 5A No. 7 Helena, 44-42, on Friday night.

With the game tied, Helena's defense gambled and tried to steal a few passes, allowing Patrick to slip free and convert the easy look.

In a defensive struggle, the game was tied at 35 at the conclusion of regulation.

Armstrong led the Eagles with 18 points, 12 of them coming on four three-point conversions in the second half. Patrick added 15 points.

Paul Brown led Helena with ten points.

Oak Mountain improves to 19-7 with the win, and concludes a solid week that already included a win over Spain Park.
