Bandon’s boys basketball team used clutch free-throw shooting to edge visiting Reedsport 57-53 in an overtime thriller on Tuesday.

The Tigers made nine of 10 free throws in the extra session to stop a two-game Sunset Conference losing streak.

The Braves took a one-point lead with 12 seconds to go in regulation, but Bandon’s Max DeVillers drew a foul while putting up a last-ditch shot and hit one free throw to force overtime.

After the Tigers gained a small lead, Reedsport began fouling to preserve time on the clock. That plan soon backfired with Bandon’s stellar free throw shooting to close out the game.

Connor Jackson and DeVillers ended up with 19 points each and 10 and 12 rebounds, respectively. Derrick Burman added 14 points.

Leading the Braves were Cody Savey with 24 points and Ismael Osario with 11 points.

Bandon, Reedsport, Gold Beach and Glide all are tied for third place early in the league season at 2-2.
