Alton's Ayonna Clanton lands overtime shot to secure victory over Hillsboro

ALTON 46, HILLSBORO, MO., 45 (OT): An Ayonna Clanton three-point shot with 1.4 seconds left in overtime gave Alton a 46-45 win over top-seeded Hillsboro, Mo., in an opening-round game of the Hillsboro Tournament Tuesday night.

The win put the Redbirds into a Friday night semifinal game against Freeburg, who defeated Cape Girardeau Central in a Tuesday night contest; AHS improved to 2-18 on the year; the Hawks fell to 13-4.

“The shot from Ayonna to get the win was great,” said Redbird coach Bob Rickman. “I am so happy we could come away with the win; playing the No. 1 seed on their home floor, it was a great win."
