JEFFERSON - Brodhead's hot shooting from the free throw line couldn't have come at a better time Tuesday night.
The Cardinals made all 13 of their fourth-quarter free throws to earn a 61-57 boys basketball win over Jefferson.
Brodhead (9-5, 6-4 Rock Valley South) trailed by nine points to start the fourth quarter, then outscored Jefferson 23-10 to cap the comeback win.
Brodhead coach Brian Kammerer said the Cardinals just weren't making shots before the fourth quarter.
"The kids believed in the system," Kammerer said.
