EUREKA -- Fighting back to tie the game and taking advantage of a technical error, the Eureka High boys basketball team defeated McKinleyville 72-62 in overtime on Tuesday night in the opening foray of the Dick Niclai Tournament.

Watching its sizable lead vanish before them in regulation, McKinleyville was down 64-62 in overtime with 1:12 left to play.

Panthers' co-head coach Aaron Hungerford looked up at the scoreboard and instructed his players to foul until they got six, one short of the one-and-one bonus free throw situation. The players followed orders, but, what Hungerford thought was the sixth foul was actually the seventh.

The scoreboard he relied upon was incorrect and the decision to foul sealed the game.

The foul put Eureka's Greg Allen (who finished with a game-high 35 points) on the free throw line...
