Poor free throw shooting threatened to doom Statesboro for a second consecutive night, but some clutch performances from the charity stripe in the final minutes paved the way for a 58-52 win over Osborne Tuesday at the Gentlemen’s Classic. Having seen the Blue Devils’ struggles from the line in Monday’s loss to Riverdale, the Cardinals were liberal with their fouls early on. The strategy seemed to pay of as Statesboro went just 11-for-24 at the stripe in the first half, but with a late lead, the Devils came up big draining 10 of their final 12 attempts to seal the win.
