Gloucester High Lady Lions dream for a South Jersey championship title was broken today by Wildwood in a heartbreaker that was played at the Gloucester High Field House.
Gloucester, who beat Riverside on Thursday night to advance in the tournament, was down by nine at one point in today\’s game against Wildwood.
But the Lions kept fighting. As time started to wind down in the fourth quarter the score was tied 39-39 with seconds left on the clock. It appeared to the fans that the game was going to go into overtime.
With five seconds left Wildwood has possession. As the seconds ticked down a Wildwood player shoots and the ball drops in the basket as the buzzer sounded.
The final, Wildwood 41-Gloucester High 39.
