Double overtime was a trend in the high school basketball realm on Monday as six teams made it to the sixth quarter on Presidents' Day.

In boys basketball the Austin Prep Cougar's were led to victory by senior guard Jonathan Richard who was instrumental in the victory, scoring a game high 36 points and dishing out six assists in the 77-64 win over visiting Trinity Catholic. In the two overtimes, Richard turned it on and scored double his total in regulation (18).

In girls play, there were some shining moments as well. In the Dedham tournament between host Sharon Eagles and Notre Dame of Hingham, the Eagles (12-7) were able to outlast the Cougars, 71-64. Junior Liz Wluka and sophomore Emilee Daley combined for 51 points and a total 26 rebounds between them in the win. Notre Dame (8-11) was eliminated from playoff contention with the loss.

In other girls basketball play, it was the Stoughton Black Knights that edged the Panthers of Holliston 59-55 in double overtime. Adrienne Lobarno led the way for the Knights with 19 points, including a key 3-pointer in the second overtime that helped pave the way for the Knights' victory.
