The Lions trailed by five going into the last quarter, before some clutch shooting and cool heads at the foul line brought them home.
Andrew Puddifoot had 29 points and 10 rebounds, and Matt Clarke had 21 including three three-pointers in the final quarter to lead the way to victory.
Trailing by four with two and a half minutes left, Districts' great escape was at the hands of two three-pointers by Clarke, a three-point play by Jacob Templeton, and perfect foul shooting the Lions going 10/10 in the last quarter and 7/7 in the last two minutes.
