JOHNSONBURG — Alex Ognen’s big night fell just short, as Luke Zimmerman hit a 3-pointer with three seconds remaining in overtime to give Johnsonburg a one-point win.

In the fourth, Ognen put up eight points in the final period to help tie the game and force over time.
In overtime, both teams traded baskets, and with time winding down, Zimmerman banged one of his four 3-pointers to give Jburg the lead and the win.
