Barnett led the winners with 21 points, while Buchsenschutz threw in 20. Also in double figures for the winners was Erin Stauffer with 10 points.
The score was tied 45-45 at the end of regulation, 51-51 at the end of the first overtime and then a 7-4 scoring edge in the second OT gave Port Allegany the win.
“Autumn got a steal and made a layup and then we made some free throws down the stretch to get the three-point lead,” Port Allegany coach Jason Luther explained.
“I was proud of our kids because they were down in the second overtime and clawed their way back.
As a group they made plays when we needed them. It was a great high school basketball game.”
Buchsenschutz finished with nine steals and pulled down seven rebounds. Barnett had seven steals and six rebounds and Hannah Lathrop had a good night on the boards with seven rebounds.
Smethport’s Abbey Woodard led all scorers with a game-high 29 points, while teammates Katie Treat added 12 and Emily Treat 11.
