With the Monticello girls basketball team trailing Black Hawk by two points with six seconds to go in the fourth quarter, junior Marissa Berg decided to improvise. Monticello sophomore Paige Dilley pushed the ball up the court and made a pinpoint pass to a cutting Berg who scored down low right before the buzzer, to tie the game and propel the Ponies to a thrilling 51-50 overtime win over Black Hawk Monday night.
