Article via Nick Stevens<\/a> of HighSchoolOT.com<\/a><\/p>\n RALEIGH, N.C. \u2014 For the second time in a week, Heritage defeated Millbrook in boys basketball, but this time it was a conference game.<\/p>\n After beating Millbrook convincingly in the John Wall Family Foundation Holiday Invitational<\/a> last week, Heritage needed overtime to claim a 69-60 win on Thursday night.<\/p>\n The game started slow, with Heritage ending the first quarter on a 6-0 run to claim a 10-9 lead.<\/p>\n Millbrook struggled at times in the first half. Only three players scored in the first two quarters for the Wildcats, and Heritage took advantage as it took a 36-27 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n Millbrook began to chip away in the second half though. The Wildcats trailed 49-41 after the third quarter, but Millbrook held Heritage to just seven points in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 56-56.<\/p>\n Heritage had a shot to win the game at the buzzer, but the shot hit the rim and bounced out.<\/p>\n Overtime belonged to Heritage though.<\/p>\n Millbrook took a brief 58-56 lead in overtime, but that was the last time the Wildcats held a lead.<\/p>\n Heritage outscored Millbrook 13-4 in the extra period, claiming the conference win.<\/p>\n Jayden Gardner was impressive with 28 points and 21 rebounds on 12-of-18 shooting. Colton Reed added 22 points for the Huskies.<\/p>\n Heritage out-rebounded Millbrook 33-27 in the game, including 13-6 on the offensive glass.<\/p>\n Jordan Whitfield led Millbrook in scoring with 29 points on 9-of-26 shooting. Patrick Dorsey was the only other Wildcat in double-figures with 13 points.<\/p>\n Heritage, the No. 1 team in the area, is now 13-0 on the season and on top of the Cap 8 Conference with a 5-0 league record. The Huskies return to play Tuesday with a home game against Wakefield.<\/p>\n Millbrook falls to 10-4 on the season and 3-2 in the Cap 8. The Wildcats travel to Leesville Road on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n The win is an important one for Heritage. Even if Millbrook beats Heritage the second time they meet in conference play, Heritage would have the head-to-head tie-breaker over the Wildcats with the Holiday Invitational win for seeding purposes.<\/p>\n CONNECT WITH US!
