ST. BONAVENTURE - Clutch foul shooting inside the final minute gave Randolph a boys basketball victory in the Cattaraugus County IAABO Tournament at the Reilly Center on Thursday night.

Then Maycock sank a free throw in the final seconds to seal the deal for the Cardinals, who made 11-of-15 from the foul line while Walsh was good on only 6-of-10.
Morrison led the Cardinals with 16 points followed by Nate Beaver with 12 and Maycock with nine.
Morrison also added four steals while Cody Oldro had six rebounds and Beaver five.
