On a night for celebration, the Dell Rapids St Mary Cardinals got to celebrate twice when they hosted the Elkton-Lake Benton Elks on Tuesday, February 18th.

This was the final regular season home game for the Cardinals, which meant St Mary would celebrate their lone senior on the team, Tana Harrington. Harrington was able to dress for the game and scored the game’s first two points in the opening seconds on an uncontested layup as a celebration for her career at Dell Rapids St Mary High School. St Mary would also celebrate in the final seconds of the game.

After the Harrington scored her layup, St Mary allowed Elkton-Lake Benton to tie the game at 2-2 with an uncontested layup of their own. The rest of the quarter remained close with the Elks having a slight 14-12 advantage. St Mary opened the second quarter on a 7-0 run to lead 19-14, but Elkton-Lake Benton finished the quarter on a 7-2 run to tie the game at 21-21 entering halftime.

The Elks looked to take control of the game late in the third quarter. They were able to pull away from St Mary just a bit as they lead 31-26 heading into the fourth quarter. The lead extended to 33-26 early in the fourth quarter, but the Cardinals would not surrender. They slowly chipped away at the lead and tied the game at 35-35 with 2:00 to go. The Elks took a one point lead after a made free throw at 36-35. Ella Heinitz was fouled on a three-point attempt and made all three free throws to give the Cardinals a 38-36 lead with about a minute to play. The Elks pulled within a point after a one-for-two trip to the free-throw line. They made a defensive stop and then earned another trip to the free-throw line with just seconds remaining. The first free throw was made to tie the game at 38-38. The second one was missed, and the Cardinals grabbed the rebound, got the ball to mid-court, and then called a timeout with just three seconds left.

After the timeout, St Mary was able to get the ball in-bounded to Brianna Griffin. She spun at the top of the key and launched a three point shot at the buzzer that was no good. However, officials called the Elks for a foul on Griffin as time expired, giving her three chances to win the game from the free-throw line with no time left on the clock and no around her. The first free throw popped out of the rim, went off the backboard, and fell to the ground no good. The second free throw went through the hoop with nothing but net, and Griffin gave the St Mary Cardinals a 39-38 win in dramatic fashion.

St Mary finished the night shooting 34% (14-41) from the field, 20% (3-15) from the free-throw line, and 57% (8-14) from the free-throw line. Heinitz had a team-high 16 points along with five rebounds. Courtney Brown had five points, three rebounds, and three steals. Ella Griffin had four points, four assists, and three rebounds.
