Try as you might, you may never see another game quite like the one authored by Haverford School and Germantown Academy Tuesday night.
The final, in five (yes, five) overtimes: Germantown Academy 100, Haverford School 98.
And it came with all the drama a five-OT affair should have, won by Evan-Eric Longino’s leaner in the lane with 0.1 seconds showing in that fifth overtime.
Haverford certainly contributed its share of drama to the highest-scoring game in Inter-Ac League history. Kharon Randolph, who scored 27 points, sent the game to overtime with a 3-pointer with seven seconds left in regulation. Jameer Nelson Jr. (15 points) canned a triple at the first-OT buzzer to extend the game.
Christian Ray, who led Haverford School with 32 points, hit two free throws at the end of the third overtime, then a lay-up as time expired in the fourth overtime.
Gavin Burke added 16 points for Haverford School (16-2 overall, 5-1 Inter-Ac), which saw its 13-game winning streak snapped. It moves the Fords into a first-place tie with Episcopal Academy ahead of Friday’s rivalry rematch, with GA a game back.
Kyle McCloskey, the Villanova football commit, scored 43 points for GA.
Also in the Inter-Ac:
Episcopal Academy 58, Penn Charter 48 >> Nick Alikakos scored 23 points, and Conner Delaney paired 17 points with nine assists. Kyle Virbitsky poured in 13 points for EA (12-9, 5-1), which is riding a five-game winning streak.
In the Del Val League:
Chester 70, Glen Mills 50 >> Jamar Sudan paced a balanced attack with 17 points and 10 rebounds as the Clippers (12-3, 5-0) turned for home in the Del Val with a blemish-free mark.
Brian Randolph added nine points for Chester.
Kenyon Cooper led Glen Mills (8-7, 2-3) with 10 points.
Penn Wood 72, Academy Park 54 >> Vincent Smalls scored 15 points, and Kairi Jones added 14 as Penn Wood (10-5, 4-1) won its seventh straight.
Nick Simmons poured in 31 points in the losing effort for AP (7-8, 2-3).
Chichester 80, Interboro 63 >> DaQuan Granberry scored 23 points, and James Hendricks continued his recent hot streak with 16 points as Chichester (5-11, 1-4) notched its first league win.
Career-highs from Tarjah Faikai (25 points) and Ethan Herko (22 points) weren’t enough to lead Interboro to a first win.
