A last second three clanged off the rim, securing a 92-89 victory for the Southern Ohio Generals.

It's one of several missed opportunities for the Lebanon Lancers in the final three minutes of their game Saturday night at the Roby Dome.

Marlis Scott's contested three would have knotted the game at 91-91 and forced overtime but it was just one shot in a string of many that just wouldn't fall.

Playing from behind most of the game, the Lancers finally caught up to the Generals with three minutes to play in a physical match up.
