That was the opinion of many fans who left Bell Buckle's Barton Athletic Center after the Webb Feet and Community Vikings battled intensely until the final seconds of overtime as the visitors came out on top 61-54.

The Vikings (6-5) were determined to avenge a loss to the Feet just over a week ago in Unionville and the home team was intent on preserving their unbeaten season in front of one of the largest, and certainly the loudest, crowds in their history.

Wylder Norris and Cody Pierce came out smoking offensively as they teamed for 10 points and the Community defense nearly shut down the potent Feet offense to lead 12-3 after one period.

The second quarter belonged to the Vikings as well, as their guards began to find Justin Stallings in the paint and he muscled his way to the basket to the tune of nine points to extend the lead to 30-14 at the break.

"That was about as good a half that we have played this season," Community coach Jace Bryant said. "I was little worried about our guys being in good enough physical shape to play this game because of some kind of bug that has a lot of them kind of droopy.

"I was pleased that they came out and played with great intensity against a very good team."

Community built the lead to 20 before Hunter Foutch, who was scoreless in the first half, came out and hit three straight baskets to jumpstart the Feet (10-1) and cut the lead to 40-26 leading to the fourth stanza.

The visitors may have had their way for much of the game, but the Blue and White owned this quarter.

Logan Burchett and Will Murphy teamed for four 3-pointers and the Webb defense, asserted itself resulting in a harvest of turnovers and 14 unanswered points to cut the lead to two before the Vikings could stem the flow on a basket by Zach Haynes.

Four-year starter and acknowledged team leader Burchett put the Feet on his back and willed them into overtime from there as he knifed through the Viking defense to pull down not one, not two, but three offensive rebounds before hitting a putback to tie the game in the waning seconds.

Community had a runner by Dustin White roll tantalizingly around the rim before falling out as regulation time expired.

"We dug ourselves too big a hole in the early going and had to use too much energy to get back into it,' Webb coach Jeff Mitchell said. "Both teams really wanted this game and came out playing hard.

"I think that our guys may have been just a little too jacked up in the beginning and we lost a little of our focus for a while there.

"Some of it was just a great scheme by the Vikings and some of it was trying too hard, but we did get it straightened out there at the end."

Community went to Stallings on a sweet assist by Norris to begin the overtime period by going up 52-50 and went on to post the final six points of the game.

"This was one of the best basketball games ever played in this building," Mitchell said. "It was a special feeling to have that many fans here from both sides and for them to be so loud throughout the game.

"I am proud as I can be of our guys."
