Yondarious Johnson’s drive to the basket and late free throws helped the Lions sneak past the Rebels at Summerfield. With the score tied in the fourth period, Plain Dealing’s LaCharlie Scott put the Lions ahead when he scored and was fouled. Summerfield would not wilt, however, and got a 3-pointer from Donte Fielding to tie it. After a Plain Dealing miss, Demarcus Ridley’s basket gave the Rebels the lead with time running down. Johnson then drove to the basket and was fouled, hitting the free throw to give the Lions the lead. He then iced it with a pair of foul shots in the final seconds. Johnson finished with 13 points to help Plain Dealing improve to 4-0. Tevin Malone scored 18 to lead Summerfield.
