LAWRENCEBURG - “We were lucky to win.”

Those words, spoken by first-year Lawrenceburg boys basketball coach John Blackwell in the wake of the Tigers' 53-44 regular season finale victory over Oldenburg Academy (4-16) Friday, said it all.

Although the Tigers (9-11) broke a two-game losing streak, shaking off some of the bad taste from their 60-35 drubbing at Harrison, Ohio, six days earlier, they needed a second-half rescue from senior Jalen Obertate to pull this one out.
