Strafford claims victory in Pink Division championship game

Strafford senior Abby Oliver stepped to the free throw line with six seconds remaining in the game and her team trailing by one point.

No pressure.

Oliver sunk two free throws to give Strafford a 76-75 win over Mercer County (Harrodsburg, Kentucky) in the Pink Division championship game of the 2016 Pink and White Lady Class at the O’Reilly Family Event Center on Friday.

Oliver scored 19 points and was 6-of-6 shooting free throws, including the game winner. She said she didn’t feel pressured.

“I’m thinking, ‘Just like practice, it’s going in’” Oliver said.

As a team, Strafford went 23-of-27 from the free throw line.
