Perry drained a 3-pointer on the left wing with eight seconds left to give the Lyons an 83-82 lead. Perry scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and was 12-of-15 at the line for the game.
After Perry’s go-ahead bucket, Dawson drove the floor, and Clark got behind the defense for the game-winning shot. The junior guard led the Panthers with 28 points. Landon Pace added 24 points for Dawson Springs, who hit ten 3-pointers in the game.
Lyon County led 44-36 at halftime, but Dawson Springs used a 13-3 run to take a 49-47 lead in the third quarter. Neither team led by more than six points the rest of the way.
