NIXA – When the shot left Jaise Combs' hand, there were some prayers being spoken and there was also no doubt that something great was about to happen.

With 1.5 seconds left in the game, and the score knotted at 53, Combs' long-range 3-pointer hit nothing but net, giving the top-seeded Nixa Eagles a 56-53 victory and the Class 6 District 5 Tournament title over No. 2 Kickapoo on Monday night.

"To be honest with you, I literally said before the shot, 'Please, God… just one time,'" Nixa head coach Brock Blansit said. "I was going to run a set, but I thought we've already got the ball in Jaise's hands. Let's let him make a play and just see what happens. If he makes it, great, and if not, we've got overtime."
