CENTRAL, La. &045; Ray Simpson hit one of the biggest shots in Adams Christian basketball history as his 3-pointer at the buzzer gave the Rebels a stunning 49-48 win over the Central Private Rebels in a pivotal District 2-AAA matchup Tuesday.

Simpson led ACCS (10-1, 3-0) with 13 points, but it will be his game-winning shot that Rebel fans will remember for quite some time &045; especially because it was at Central Private, a place where very few teams leave with a win.

&uot;Beating Central Private on their floor is big. It’s a big win for us,&uot; ACCS head coach John Gray said. &uot;We just beat a good team tonight.&uot;

Glenn Williams had 12 points and Luke Ogden added 11 points for ACCS.

The way the first half was going, one wouldn’t have thought the game would go down to a buzzer-beater.

Central Private (15-3, 1-1) took a 16-11 lead after one quarter of play and increased its lead to 28-19 at halftime.

But unlike previous games between the two teams, ACCS didn’t panic in the second half. Instead, the Rebels kept attacking Central Private on both ends of the court.

&uot;They played as a team tonight,&uot; Gray said.

ACCS chipped away at Central Private’s lead in the third quarter, trailing by seven at the end of the quarter.

&uot;We really handled the ball&uot; well, Gray said.

Then ACCS mounted a furious comeback in the fourth quarter, thanks to a defense that held Central Private to just eight points and kept the Rebels in the game.

Then the game came down to Simpson’s dramatic shot from downtown, which went in &045; much to the delight of ACCS fans and to the shock and dismay of Central Private fans.

&uot;I was pleased with how we played on offense and defense,&uot; Gray said.
