Somehow, 367 days later, the Wolverines and Cardinals outdid themselves.

Westfield senior Carson Swanson scored 30 points and assisted on the go-ahead bucket in double overtime as the fourth-seeded Wolverines beat No. 1 Randolph 64-58 in a Section VI Class C semifinal Tuesday evening in front of a standing-room only crowd at the Physical Education Complex.

“A sectional semifinal in double overtime is about as wild as it’s going to get,” Westfield head coach Nolan Swanson said.

The game had everything a high school basketball fan could want.

Randolph closed the first half on an 18-6 run to lead 23-21 at halftime.

Then, Cardinals senior Drew Hind scored on a reverse layup on his team’s final possession of the third quarter before Swanson banked in a half-court 3-pointer at the buzzer to pull the Wolverines within four heading into the fourth quarter.

“It was a dogfight to overcome the seven-point deficit we were in. I know Carson hit the half-court shot at the end of the third,” Coach Swanson said. ” … I try not to change composure in the huddle with them, so we just move on, but we needed the 3 obviously.”

“I let go of it and realized it was going right at it,” Carson Swanson said postgame. “Something went our way, something went right. We took that confidence to our next possession.”

That’s when things really started to get interesting.

Swanson got the crowd into a frenzy early in the fourth quarter when he threw down a posterizing dunk, but the bucket was disallowed on a charge and the ball went back to Randolph.

The Cardinals lead grew to seven before Westfield went on an 11-0 run that included a 3-pointer from Swanson and back-to-back baskets from Grant Beadle.

“This is JCC, this is win or go home. We had to bring everything we had offensively and defensively,” Carson Swanson said. “After losing to them last year, we wanted this.”

Four free throws gave the Wolverines a 47-43 lead before Hind hit a 3-pointer to make it a one-point game with 1:54 remaining.

After a pair of Westfield turnovers, Hind hit another 3-pointer to give the lead back to Randolph with a minute left in regulation.

“Someone has to get a stop and make a shot down the stretch,” Hind said. “If you don’t, you lose.”

Swanson tied the game with 50 seconds remaining before the Cardinals missed a shot inside and a 3-point attempt from Hind at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.

“That was a good look. He’s hit those. He took it down to no time on the clock,” Hind said of his son’s game-winning attempt. “It wasn’t my favorite look, but he’s certainly capable of making that.”

“I thought it was going to go. It made me nervous,” Carson Swanson said of Hind’s shot. “He’s a really clutch player. We lucked out on that one.”

Swanson opened the first extra session with back-to-back 3-pointers, the first of the banked-in variety, but Hind and Kevin McElwain answered with 3-pointers for Randolph to send the game into a second overtime.

There, Swanson drove and found Grant Beadle with a no-look pass that was finished by the Wolverines junior.

“I know if I look off and then I hit him, it’s probably going to be open,” Carson Swanson said. “I was just trying to make the best play possible for our team to put us in the best position.”

“He sees the guys underneath,” Coach Swanson said. “We see double teams often. He knows what he’s doing there.”

Westfield would not trail again.

Swanson scored the next time down the floor and Zach Maguire made a pair of free throws to make it 61-55.

McElwain hit a 3-pointer to pull the Cardinals within three, but Randolph missed its final four 3-point attempts to finish the overtime periods 3 for 12 from the field, including 3 for 11 from 3-point range.

“JJ said it when we walked in here, it might have been the greatest game he’s ever been a part of,” Hind said of his assistant coach JJ Peterson. “Other than being on the wrong end of it, it was just a phenomenal game. We just ran out of gas.”

Swanson made 3 of 4 free-throw attempts inside the final 25 seconds to send the Wolverines to their second straight sectional final where they’ll meet No. 2 Holland, a 65-41 winner over No. 3 Franklinville in Tuesday’s second semifinal.

“I’ve seen Holland play Allegany-Limestone pretty strongly,” Coach Swanson said. ” … This team wins games.”
