Sabercats cage Hawks with time winding down on the hardwood

By RAUL GARCIA JR | Edinburg Daily Review

EDINBURG — The Sabercats clawed their way back into the game.

After trailing the Harlingen Hawks most of the first quarter they found their rhythm, and kept the momentum down to the wire.

The Sabercats found themselves with the ball and the game tied at 53-53 with less than 10 seconds left in the game.

And with the game on the line all it took was a quick inbound pass, three strong dribbles by Alec Mancillas down the sideline, a pass to the top of the key and a floating contested layup by Rollie Rodriguez to win the game.

The Sabercats defeated Harlingen South 53-55 in their home opener with a buzzer beater.
