BEMIDJI — With less than 15 seconds left in overtime, Jaxon Boschee nailed a 3-pointer. The Bemidji High ÍáÍáÂþ»­ boys basketball team was within one point of Moorhead at the BHS Gymnasium.

Shortly after the ensuing inbound pass, the Lumberjacks fouled the Spuds and sent the visitors to the free-throw line. Moorhead nailed one of its shots at the line for an 83-81 lead, keeping the door open for a game-winning 3-pointer or a 2-point try to tie things up with seconds left.

However, the Jacks couldn’t find that final basket. The Spuds escaped with an 83-81 victory over Bemidji Thursday night, completing the regular-season sweep.

Boschee finished with 44 points, followed by Austin Riewer’s 21.
