ST. CLOUD — The rematch with Orono came about just barely for Delano.
The Tigers needed two free throws from senior Darius Clare with six seconds on the clock to win its Section 5AAA semifinal game against Rogers March 13 at St. Cloud State’s Holenbeck Hall.
Clare drained both free throws — one on both sides of a Rogers’ timeout. The first tied the game at 49, and the second gave Delano a 50-49 lead.
Rogers quickly got the ball down the court, and got a shot off before the final horn sounded. R.J. Dean’s jumper with two seconds remianing was no good. Trevor Merlock pulled down the offenseive rebound, but his shot attempt came after the buzzer sounded on the game, and Delano escaped with the 50-49 win.
Delano and Orono will play for the section championship and a berth in the state tournament Thursday at 7 p.m. at Holenbeck Hall.
