McCory lifts Braves to 5th-straight title

CHARLESTOWN

Like any senior should, and like he has done throughout the season, Brownstown Central’s Brett McCory wanted the ball in his hands to try and lift his team to victory.

McCory came through big time, helping the Braves defeat Corydon Central 55-50 in overtime in Saturday’s championship game of the Class 3A Sectional 30 at Charlestown. It was Brownstown’s fifth straight sectional title, including this year and last year at the 3A level.

After Corydon’s Bronson Kessinger made 1 of 2 free throws with 11 seconds remaining in regulation, McCory dribbled down the left side of the court, felt pressure from the Panthers, released a 3-point shot and was fouled. He calmly sank all three free throws for a 41-41 score.
