A last second steal and basket by Danielle Doerr sealed an 18-15 win for the South Middle School eighth grade B team in its season opener against North Monday night.
With sounding holding on to a precarious 16-15 lead, Doerr swiped the ball from North and passed it to Lexi Brown, who fed Doerr for the two-pointer just before the buzzer.
South trailed most of the game before taking the lead for good on a Brittany Hudson basket midway through the fourth quarter. Hudson was South's leading scorer with eight points, followed by Brown with six and Doerr and Allie Ritter with two apiece.

In the A game, North defeated South 20-15. The score was tied 8-8 at halftime, but North ran off the first six points of the second half. Eliza Fausto broke the scoring drought, driving in for a layup, then South pulled to within two when a North player scored at the wrong basket.
The Eagles scored only three more points, a Danielle Doerr basket from a Torri Ackerson assist, and a Faust free throw. Faust led South with five points, followed by Ackerson with four, Sierra Bartholomew with two, and Doerr with two.
South is playing at McDonald County tonight.
