6:50 p.m.: Graham 50, Indian Hill 46. Ethan Ward made 1 of 2 free throws with 2 seconds left in the game to give the Falcons just enough edge to win the game. The No. 1 Division II team in the state moves on to the regional tournament next week.

6:38 p.m.: Graham still up 42-39, 1:31 left. And Graham has the ball. They’re playing the waiting game, passing the ball around and looking for fouls.

5:05 p.m.: I’m on the 50-yard line at the Graham High School district game against Indian Hill at UD Arena. But this isn’t football, it’s boys basketball. The sideline clock tells me it’s 20 minutes till tip-off.
The Indian Hill kids are already out warming up. Graham coach Brook Cupps was just giving a radio interview. People are pouring into the seats.
I’ll be providing live updates throughout the game as the game progresses.
