SAN MARCOS — Trailing 54-53 with four seconds remaining Friday, it appeared the San Saba boys basketball team would see its season end with a heartbreaking loss to Weimar in the Region IV-2A semfinals.
Abel Martinez had different ideas.
The senior forward stole the ball and hit a layup with 1.2 seconds remaining to lift San Saba to a thrilling 55-54 win over the Wildcats and earn the Armadillos a spot in Saturday’s IV-2A championship game against Normangee (29-5).
