Junior Darius Moore made a basket and free throw with 13.5 seconds left to help El Reno High School’s boys basketball team snap a three-game losing streak with a 44-38 win over Piedmont.

With El Reno holding a slim 40-38 lead, Piedmont missed two shots at either a tie or the lead before EHS post player Kolton Hunt pulled down a rebound.
