TROY — Sidney couldn’t hold onto a double-digit lead and lost 66-64 in overtime to Troy on Wednesday at the Trojan Activities Center.

It was the first time Sidney has lost to the Trojans since a 55-54 loss on Feb. 9, 2016. The Yellow Jackets had won 10 consecutive matchups before Wednesday’s game, including a 77-46 win over Troy on Jan. 22.

The Trojans broke a seven-game losing streak with the win and improved to 9-10 on the season, while Sidney dropped to 9-8.

After rallying from 10 points down late in regulation, Troy called timeout with 13.2 seconds left to set up the final shot.

Jaden Owens took the inbound pass and got the ball to freshman Ryder Kirtley. Kirtley spotted an opening to the basket and drove for a game-winning layup with four seconds to go and Sidney’s desperation shot was off the mark to give Troy a 66-64 victory.

Troy had been playing Sidney tough the whole game. The Trojans trailed 23-17 after the opening quarter, but led 29-28 at halftime.

Troy trailed 45-44 after three quarters and found themselves trailing 59-49 midway through the fourth quarter, before full-court pressure turned the game around.

Sidney still had a 61-53 lead with 1:18 to go when Troy called timeout with the ball under its own basket.

Hollis Terrell, who had Troy’s final eight points in regulation, was fouled on the inbounds and hit two free throws to make it 61-55.

After two steals against the press, Terrell scored on baskets with 48.6 seconds and 15.9 seconds to go to make it 61-59.

On Sidney’s inbounds, the Jackets threw the ball out of bounds.

With 14.9 seconds to go, Owens inbounded the ball to a wide-open Terrell in the paint and he scored to tie it at 61 with 14 seconds to go.

Sidney’s final shot was off the mark, forcing overtime.

In the overtime, Kirtley hit a free throw and Navin Couch added a basket to make it 64-61.

Sidney answered with a basket by Avante Martin and Devin Taborn hit one of two free throws with 1:13 to go to tie it at 64 and set up the dramatic finish.
