SALINA — Allen Community College’s Ed Wright hit three free throws with 13 seconds left to lift the Red Devils to a 74-72 win over Johnson County in the Region VI championship today.
The championship is Allen’s first regional title since 1924, and puts the Red Devils in next week’s NJCAA-II national tournament in Danville, Ill.
Johnson County was within an eyelash of tying the score, but a putback was disallowed after the officials ruled it came after the final buzzer.
(This is a developing story.)
