Scott City needs two OTs to knock off the Red Devils

Jay Simmons drained four 3-pointers and had a game-high 36 points as he led the visiting Scott City Rams to a double-overtime 66-61 victory over Chaffee on Friday.

"Jay Simmons is an unbelievable player," Chaffee coach Tyson Moyers said. "We guarded him every way we knew how to guard him."

Alex King added 18 points for the Rams as they built an early halftime lead, only to see themselves down by two points heading into the fourth quarter.

Jerrod Steger netted 22 points for the Red Devils (4-5). Andy Hendrix and Taimen Taylor added 12 points apiece for Chaffee.

"Our kids battled their butts off," Moyers said. "Scott City is a good team. We played hard, we just didn't get over the hump at the end."
