BENTON — A last-second 3-pointer pulled victory out of the jaws of defeat Tuesday night as Polk County’s Wildcats slipped past visiting Tellico Plains.

Brock Raper drilled the long-range shot with 2.2 on the clock to lift the Wildcats to a 33-32 win over the Bears.

It was Raper’s second 3-pointer of the night as he and teammates Alex Akins and Logan Brewer each netted eight points in the 10th Polk victory of the season.

Evan Ball and Tyler Cheatham rounded out the Wildcat scoring with five and four points respectively.

Tellico’s Tyler Peeler led all scorers with 11 points in the low-scoring affair.

Polk County will wrap up the regular season Friday with a trip to District 5-AA foe Sweetwater.
