The opening night of the Three Rivers Conference boys basketball season proved to be a thriller at Prophetstown Tuesday where the host Prophets outlasted Bureau Valley 58-55 in overtime.

The Prophets made good on all six free throw attempts and made off with the three-point victory.

“In the end, our poor play to start the game, start the half, and start the OT session sank us,” BV coach Jason Marquis said. “We’ve got to get better about playing every minute of the game with the highest level of intensity we have, instead of having 20 or 25 minutes of good execution scattered throughout a 32-minute game.”
