GRAYDON SEALY got their rematch, just not the revenge.
Amanda Knight scored the go-ahead basket with 1:55 remaining, and defending WIBISCO Schoolgirl basketball champs Queen’s College staged a miraculous fourth-quarter comeback to advance to another final following yesterday’s tense 48-44 victory over their rivals at the Wildey Gymnasium.
It was the thrilling finish to yet another titanic showdown, coming on the heels of an epic semi-final last season when national guard Ashlee Daniel had a similar go-ahead score with just under two minutes to upset the then nine-time queens.
This time it was Knight who proved the unlikely hero, converting a huge lay-up to put her side ahead for good after QC trailed by as many as eight points (42-34) with four minutes to play.
