Goddard Eisenhower boys basketball overcomes eight-point halftime deficit to defeat Salina South in OT thriller

SALINA, Kan. (CatchItKansas) - An overtime thriller at Salina South ends in Goddard Eisenhower’s favor. The Tigers win 65-63.

Tigers Head Coach Steve Blue credits his team’s halftime adjustments in their comeback victory.
