After sitting out for part of the fourth quarter due to cramping in his calf, junior guard
Uzziah Buntyn returned to the game just minutes prior to inbounding the game-winning assist to Hueitt on a cross-court pass with 3.3 seconds remaining.
Huiett was left uncovered on the right wing as he calmly knocked down the three-pointer as the final second expired. The 6-foot-8 center had badly missed an attempt to take the lead on a three-pointer from the top of the key on the previous possession.
The win avenged the Tigers state tournament loss nearly a year ago to the day to this Brennan team 57-43 on March 3 in the same round of the state tournament last season.
After Stony Point appeared to be in control of the contest throughout the majority of the first three quarters, a surge from Brennan late in the third quarter and early in the fourth got them back into the game.
Brennan took its first lead of the second half on a made three-pointer with approximately 6:15 remaining and extended the lead to 61-57 on a
Kingston Flemings three-pointer midway through the fourth quarter.

Josiah Moseley responded with a personal 6-0 run to put Stony Point back ahead 63-61 with just under four minutes remaining in the game. Moseley knocked known a step-back three-pointer before putting back his own miss on the next possession. He then split a pair of free throws to give the Tigers a 63-61 advantage.
After Stony Point took a 66-63 lead with just over two minutes remaining, Brennan clawed back with five consecutive points, including a go-ahead basket from
Cameron Walker with 34.6 seconds remaining.
Moseley finished with a game-high 27 points in the win for Stony Point (36-1). The Panthers advance to the UIL Class 6A state quarterfinals where they will take on O'Connor (Helotes) at 2 p.m. local time.
