Humphrey Jackson sent the Southern Oregon men’s basketball team out with a win this past Saturday with a late 3-pointer to lift the Raiders to a 78-75 victory over Concordia in Portland.
SOU finishes the season 12-15 overall and 4-14 in Cascade Conference play. Concordia finishes 15-14 overall and 5-13 in conference.
Jackson finished with 22 points to lead the Raiders. Senior Ryan Staker had 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Jarrad Childs finished with 15 points.
Greg McFarland led the Cavs with 15 points.
After the two teams were tied at 70-70, it looked like Concordia had taken back control of the game. The Cavs moved out to a 75-70 lead with 2:30 to play in the game.
Unfortunately for Concordia, that was the last time they would score.
A free throw by Staker and then a jumper by Childs cut the lead to 75-73 with 1:45 to play.
Concordia would miss a pair of shots and the Raiders would miss one as well over the next minute before Jackson stepped up.
The senior knocked down his sixth 3-pointer of the night with 39 seconds left to give the Raiders the lead for good at 76-75.
Childs added a pair of free throws down the stretch and Concordia missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Raiders the season-ending victory.
