Spartans Stop Lewisburg

Hughesville 51, Lewisburg 47

Brett Diehl and Pat James sparked a second-quarter comeback while Ian Bubb hit several clutch free throws in the final minute as Hughesville edged Lewisburg, 51-47 in a big early-season game between district title contenders.

Diehl and James took charge in the second quarter after Lewisburg built a 17-7 lead. The two post players combined for half the Spartans second-quarter points while helping them cut the deficit to one by halftime.

Lewisburg led 36-35 midway through the third quarter but Bubb’s drive put Hughesville ahead to stay and was part of a 12-0 run that lasted nearly eight minutes. By the time it ended, Hughesville (6-2, 2-0) led 47-36 with four minutes remaining.

Bubb was sent to the line for three 1-and-1s in the final minute and each time, he hit the front end. After Travis Conrad hit a 3-pointer that made it 50-47 with 3.6 seconds remaining, Bubb was fouled again and again faced a 1-and-1.
