EAST LANSING – It took double overtime for defending Class C state champion Flint Hamady to defeat St. Ignace Saturday afternoon at the Breslin Center.

Hamady edged the Saints, who defeated Brandywine in the semifinals on Thursday, 68-66 in the first ever overtime game in Class C championship history and only the second double-overtime game in any class.

Kiyana Dudley-Thompson was left all alone under the basket in the final seconds as the St. Ignace defense collapsed on Hamady’s Kathryn Thomas as she drove toward the basket.

Dudley-Thompson took the pass and got the shot off with less than a second to play to give Hamady the victory.
