Riverhead 61, Southampton 59

March 2, 2012

With Southampton trailing by one with 3.3 seconds left in overtime, Kesi Goree's inbounds fling toward midcourt was intercepted by an outstretched Allen, who was then fouled and hit one of two free throws, as Riverhead hung on to win, 61-59, Friday at Farmingdale State to clinch the Suffolk overall girls basketball championship.
