PONTIAC, Illinois - The Pontiac 66ers used a huge fourth quarter to catch and overtake the visiting St. Louis RiverSharks at Pontiac High School Sunday afternoon, trailing by ten heading into the final period but pulling out a 114-111 win.

A back-and-forth first half ended up with the two teams dead even at 51.  The RiverSharks took an 85-74 lead heading into the fourth, but the 66ers outscored St. Louis 39-26 in the last frame.  A potential game-tying three-pointer by Brandon Roberson fell short at the buzzer.

Alfonzo Houston led Pontiac with 34 points.  Garrett Jefferson scored 19 points for the 66ers (5-3), who now sit alone in second place.  New additions Khion Sankey and Blake Burgess scored 16 and 15 points, respectively, while Kyle Anderson chipped in 13.

Justin Bocot scored 34 for St. Louis (3-2), while Aaron Williams tallied 20 points and 19 rebounds.  Three other RiverSharks scored in double figures.
