Miley Ray’s three-point play in the final seconds lifted Hilton Head High’s girls to a 43-41 win at Beaufort High on Friday.
The Eagles led 41-40 with less than 30 seconds left when Hilton Head High’s Chyna Fields rebounded a Beaufort High miss and passed to fellow freshman Kenzie Ryan, who threw an outlet pass to Ray for a layup and foul.
Ray finished with 15 points to lead the Seahawks, while Trinity Feltner added 13 and Caroline Brammer had a seaosn-high eight.
Essence Champion and Brittany Linton scored 15 points apiece to lead the Eagles.
HHIHS (8-12, 2-0) takes over the top spot in the Region 7-4A with the win. Beaufort (13-5, 1-1) travels to Ridgeland-Hardeeville for a non-region matchup Tuesday.
