Oak Mountain&8217;s Tyler Gallimore wanted a chance at redemption Monday night in his team&8217;s Class 6A, Area 6 final game against Mountain Brook.

He got that chance &8212; with four seconds left on the clock.

Deadlocked with the Spartans at 40 apiece, the Eagles in-bounded the ball with 10 seconds left in the final quarter. Gallimore took the ball, drove down the left side of the floor, pulled up and sunk a jump shot with four ticks left on the clock.

A desperation heave by Mountain Brook fell short and the Eagles celebrated a 42-40 victory and an area title.

&8220;I wanted the ball in my hands,&8221; Gallimore said. &8220;I had been playing a bad game and wanted to redeem myself.&8221;

Gallimore finished with six points, hitting two-of-nine from the floor on the evening. In the end, however, it was only one shot that mattered.

&8220;Tyler is such a greater shooter,&8221; head coach Jerry North said. &8220;We&8217;ve been able to count on him all season long.

North noted that despite coming away with a victory, the entire team struggled throughout the game.

&8220;We had some letdowns during the game,&8221; North said. &8220;Defensively we had trouble getting to their outside shooters.&8221;

Colby McNorton led the Spartans in scoring, hitting three-of-three from behind the arc to finish with 12 points.

&8220;Mountain Brook was able to hit a lot of those outside shots.&8221;

North called a full timeout before Gallimore&8217;s game-winning shot to set up a play.

&8220;We had a play against man and against zone,&8221; North said. &8220;It was a clear-out play for Tyler and I&8217;m glad it worked.&8221;

The Eagles&8217; Thomas Nordyke finished with a team-high 12 points for his team, including a clutch three-pointer that gave OMHS the lead with 1:29 left in the game.

Justin Luquire was named the most valuable player on the Area 6 all-area team and was joined by Gallimore and teammate Bryant Gardner.

Spain Park&8217;s Adam Mims and Jonathan Hall and Thompson&8217;s Gary Cunningham were also named to the team.

With the win, the Eagles earned a chance to host one more home game.

Area 7 fourth place finisher Shades Valley comes to OMHS this Friday in a sub-regional matchup at 7 p.m.

Spain Park 64, Hoover 63: The Spain Park Jaguars were able to escape with a 64-63 win Monday night in their Class 6A, Area 6 consolation game against Hoover, despite committing two big turnovers in the final 30 seconds of the game.

Adam Mims netted a team-high 16 points, including 12 in the final half of play, while teammate Jonathon Hall finished with 10 points.

&8220;We played pretty well at times,&8221; head coach Brian Moon said. &8220;But their pressure really hurt us.&8221;

The Jags committed 25 turnovers in the game but were able to hold off a pressing Bucs squad.

&8220;We were throwing the ball into the eighth row of the stands at times,&8221; Moon said. &8220;But our guys persevered and found a way to win.&8221;

The victory saved the Jags from having to face the top team out of Area 7. Instead, Spain Park will face runner-up Hewitt-Trussville on the road Friday night at 7 p.m.

Altamont 47, Calera 43: The Calera Eagles came up just short against the Altamont Knights Monday night, falling 47-43 in the Class 2A, Area 8 championship game.

TJ. Green led Calera with 14 points while Kaderious Lacey netted 10 in the loss.
