In a game heard on WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com, Teutopolis hit a put-back layup as time expired in regulation to tie the game and send it to overtime, then outlasted Monticello in the extra session for a 53-46 win in Class 2A Sectional semifinal action from Tolono Unity High School Tuesday night.

Monticello jumped out quick to a 12-4 but the Wooden Shoes got within 12-8 to end the first quarter. Ttown tied the score at 14-14 in the second quarter, and the two sides played nearly even to the end.

For Monticello, it was rebounding and free throws down the stretch. The Wooden Shoes' tying layup was its fourth offensive rebound of the possession, and Monticello missed six free throws at the end of regulation that would have sealed the win.

Neither team shot well from the foul line. The Wooden Shoes finished 11-of-26 from the foul line while Monticello was 5-of-17.

Matthias Rudolph and Tyler Blythe each scored ten points to lead Monticello.

Blythe's late-season resurgence earned him the ServPro of Piatt/DeWitt Counties Player of the Game. 

Ttown had 18 offensive rebounds that led to 17 second-chance points. Each team scored 24 points in the paint. 

Mick Niebrugge and Gavin Addis each scored ten points for Ttown. Neibrgge also grabbed 13 boards. The Wooden Shoes shot 36 percent from the floor for the game.

The Sages finished shooting 53 percent from the floor. The Wooden Shoes made six three-pointers to Monticello's five. 

Ike Young had seven points and nine rebounds, while Nolan Buehnerkemper had eight points and eight rebounds for the Sages. 

Monticello ends its season at 18-14 overall.

Ttown goes to 25-10. They will play for a Sectional Championship Friday night against the winner of Wednesday's contest between Warrensburg-Latham and Lawrenceville in Tolono.
