AKRON - Winamac girls basketball head coach Jim Swaney picked up his 300th and perhaps most memorable win with a 63-62 buzzer-beating win over Valley Tuesday night. Winamac came into the contest ranked first in the most recent 2A poll and a 9-0 record. On the other end, Valley had reeled off three straight wins after a rough start to the season. Despite no full moon outside, there were plenty of strange occurences that occured inside the Valley gym Tuesday night. The tone of the game was set at the 5:22 mark of the second quarter when Kara Kramer looked to complete a three-point play.Kramer's free throw attempt bounced on the rim three times before coming to rest on the back of the rim. At that point, the Vikings trailed 27-16 and continued to trail by double digits for most of the game.Valley made its push in the fourth quarter and took its first lead at 57-55 with 2:33 left in the game on three Holli Jackson free throws.
