Comer hits game-winner

Kegan Comer had missed his first two 3-point attempts.
That didn’t stop the Cougars from feeding their junior guard with the game on the line.
The 2013 Jay County High School graduate delivered, nailing a 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left Wednesday to lift the NAIA Division II No. 19 University of St. Francis men’s basketball team to a 79-77 victory over Grace.
The Cougars trailed for most of the second half, pulled ahead in the final two minutes and then watched their lead disappear when Grace’s Logan Irwin hit a pair of free throws with 14 seconds remaining.
Comer’s 3-pointer lifted USF (6-3), which bounced back from an 84-79 loss in its previous game Nov. 24 against Huntington. He finished 6-of-11 from the field and shared the game-high of 13 points with teammate Seth Small.
He also had five assists, two rebounds, a block and a steal.
