The Briarcrest Christian's girls basketball team hung on by their fingernails to defeat host St. Benedict, 53-51, Friday night in a battle of two Dandy Dozen ranked teams.
"FingerNAIL," said a relieved Saints' coach Lee Smith said after his eighth-ranked Saints (14-3, 2-0) got the early jump in Division 2-AA on No. 5 SBA (16-2, 1-1).
Adrienne McKay, a 5-4 senior who has struggled with injuries and confidence much of her three seasons at Briarcrest, had a career-high 20 points, including all eight of the Saints' fourth-quarter points, and the winning free throws with 1.5 seconds left.
