Long, the lone senior on the Durand roster, playing just her fifth game this season after recovering from torn ACL surgery she was honored before the game by her coach and teammates and then scored the game-winning 3-pointer from near the top of the key with one second left as the Railroaders rallied past Lake Fenton 52-51 Thursday.
“(Durand coach Phil Partlo) just told us to be ready to shoot,” Long said. “I’m so proud of my teammates. Jacqueline DeClerg was on fire tonight and Jalynne Cunningham too. It’s a great win but it’s also a sad night as well.”
The Railroaders had pulled to within one point with 13 seconds remaining when junior guard Jacqueline DeClerg made her fourth and final 3-pointer of the night from the baseline.
Lake Fenton’s Jordan Newman then made a free throw with 11.1 seconds left but missed the second to put the Blue Devils up two.
