ASHLAND – Bushnell guard Trevon Richmond had the final say in a tight Cascade Conference battle against Southern Oregon, nailing a free-throw-line jumper with five seconds left that decided a 67-66 Cascade Conference final Friday night at Lithia Motors Pavilion.

The Beacons (6-8 overall, 4-4 CCC) trailed 66-62 with 42 seconds remaining when Richmond got into the paint for a three-point play that kept his team alive. On the other end, Stevie Schlabach blocked Josh Meyer's jumper at the end of the shot clock and moments later the ball found Richmond, who came off an on-ball screen to get a clean look for the win.

Out of a timeout, Tez Allen's 3-point look from the wing rimmed off at the buzzer.

The Raiders went to 8-6 and 4-4 in the conference. They'd won eight consecutive CCC home games dating back to their 76-71 loss to Bushnell last season in Ashland.

Schlabach was a key figure on that night and came through again with a game-high 21 points. Richmond scored 16, and Colton Martin's second 3-pointer gave the Beacons a 55-49 edge with 8:41 to play.

The Raiders answered with nine straight points, a run capped by back-to-back Brett Hollins buckets. They appeared to be in the driver's seat when Allen stripped Schlabach and promptly hit a turnaround jumper to make it 66-62 with 53 seconds remaining.

SOU guard Atmar Mundu scored 14 points, but he was one of several Raiders to struggle from 3-point range. Collectively, they went 3-of-21 downtown for their lowest make total of the season.

Meyer totaled 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting, five assists and five rebounds. Dominic McGarvey had nine points and 11 boards.

The Raiders will be tested again at 5 p.m. Saturday, hosting a Corban team that ran its CCC record to 7-1 with a 73-67 victory Friday at Oregon Tech.
