Trinity boys were up seven with a minute to play in the third quarter only to see Thomas Jefferson score 10 points before the end of the period. The Jaguars then hit 12 of 16 free throws in the final quarter to win, dealing a crushing blow to the Hillers’ playoff hopes. Peters Township boys fell two games off the lead in the section.
