Blinn rallies, outlasts Western Texas in double overtime to earn non-region road win

Sophomore guard Dashawn Ceaser scored a career-high 33 points and hit the game-winning 3-pointer

The Blinn College men's basketball team shrugged off a big second-half deficit and a trio of clutch 3-pointers by Western Texas College to earn a 92-89 double-overtime victory over the Westerners on Thursday in Snyder, Texas.

The Buccaneers improved to 2-0 on the season.

"That was a heck of a win for us," Blinn head coach Scott Schumacher said. "Any coach in Texas will tell you that any time you can get a road win against a Region 5 team, that's huge. Our guys are fired up; I'm fired up. We had a growing up experience tonight and I couldn't be more proud of our players."

The two teams went toe-to-toe for most of the first half before the Westerners found space late to take a 37-29 lead into the break. That cushion swelled to 46-31 in the second half before the Bucs went on a furious rally.

Freshman guard Connor Sprattley kickstarted a 38-23 Blinn move when he sank a 3-pointer as he was fouled. He converted the subsequent free throw and the Bucs were on their way.

Blinn very nearly earned the win in regulation, but the Westerners drilled a 3 in the final seconds to tie the game at 69-all and extend play into the first five-minute OT period.

Western Texas continued to survive on the 3 ball as it tied the game at 79 with 2.2 seconds remaining in the first OT. 

In the final overtime, the Bucs outscored the Westerners 13-10, but needed a dash of heroics from sophomore guard Dashawn Ceaser to do it.

After Western Texas hit yet another shot from long distance to tie the game with 13 ticks remaining, Ceaser answered when he took an assist from Sprattley and buried a 3 from the corner with 1.4 seconds on the clock. The Westerns failed to answer on their end as time expired.

"Dashawn played exceptionally well tonight," Schumacher said. "He was our go-to guy all night and gave us all he had when it mattered most."

Ceaser scored a career-high 33 points to lead Blinn. His previous high was a 21-point effort against Dallas College Cedar Valley on Nov. 16, 2024.

Sprattley followed Ceaser with 11 points, and freshman guards Brandon Hatcher and Desmeon Jones added 10 apiece.

Ceaser and Hatcher each pulled down a team-best seven rebounds.

Blinn gets back to work when it hosts Southern Arkansas University Tech at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 10, at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.

Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 53 national championships since 1987.
