OKOLONA -- With a minute to go and North Bullitt climbing back to take a two-point lead, veteran coach David Marion and Emily Twyman were alone.
His message was simple, if you get the ball, go hit a layup.
On cue, senior Hailey Free got the ball and found Twyman open inside. The junior forward calmly put the ball in the basket.
Down nine to open the final frame, North Bullitt went on an 18-3 run to win its seventh straight District 23 title.
