BURLINGTON – With the game in the balance, Kaneland had the shot it wanted.

Just eight minutes earlier with Kaneland trailing Plano by 15 points entering the fourth quarter, it seemed improbable the Knights would even be in that position, having a final possession with a chance to advance to the regional finals.

After a furious fourth-quarter rallythat saw the Knights climb within one, Kaneland called timeout with 1.5 seconds left. Caroline Heimerdinger inbounded the ball from underneath Plano’s basket and found Allyson O’Herron, who had cut to the right wing and set up just behind the 3-point arc.
