BLUFFTON – The Heritage Patriots will have to settle for a spoiler’s role and a chance at just a share of the ACAC regular season title after dropping a tough game in the Tiger Den at Bluffton Saturday night, 59-56, on a buzzer-beating three by Maddox White to win the tilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers jumped out to a big lead early in the game, doubling up their guests at one point (26-13). The Patriots took much of the rest of the game to climb back into the contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late in the fourth quarter, Kingston Galentine attempted to draw the Patriots back into the game, knocking down a three with 80 seconds remaining to cut the Bluffton lead to 50-45. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 seconds later, the visitors forced a turnover with a trap and Galentine made it a two-point game with another three. Jaxon Feasby also hit a three with a man in his face, but the Patriots could never get to the point where the game was even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least not until they found Lucas Taylor in the corner. His three with 13 seconds left to play finally brought the Patriots to a tie ballgame at 56-56. That set up the freshman White for his heroics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two teams combined for 20 points in the final 80 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heritage will play at Norwell Tuesday night, while Bluffton will be at Manchester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
