Community Press - Falcons looking to improve defense for stretch run
While they allowed too many open shots and offensive rebounds for the coach's liking, they pulled together when it mattered most, using a stifling defense and clutch performances from forwards Chane Behanan and Darren Goodson to pull out a 69-63 overtime victory over Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference rival Western Hills Jan. 4 at Aiken.
In a mad scramble, Behanan grabbed his own rebound twice near the basket and finally tied the game at 56-56 with one second left in regulation to force the extra session. Aiken went on an 8-0 run and used key free throw shooting down the stretch to seal it.
Offensively, there have been two constants in the Aiken roster - Behanan and Goodson.
Behanan is a freshman phenom who gets better with every game. The lanky power forward leads the team in scoring (21 ppg) and rebounding (7 rpg) and is looked to, especially in a tight game. How he reacts in a state tournament setting remains to be seen, but he's shown the ability to handle pressure.
"It's no pressure on me. We play as a team and handle the pressure as a team," Behanan said.
