ERIE — Erie sophomore center Cameron McCurry skied toward the rim with four seconds to go in the game and sunk the shot to give his team the lead.
Erie boys basketball stunned Fort Morgan, 68-67, thanks to McCurry’s late heroics and Kyle Leahy’s huge fourth quarter.
Leahy scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to help Erie overcome a 12-point deficit. He finished with 28 points and blocked the final shot attempt from Fort Morgan’s Tate Kembel to seal the win.
McCurry finished with 15 points. Fort Morgan’s TJ Bauer started the game on fire, scoring 13 points in the first quarter, but cooled off and only scored three more points the rest of the game.
