It might only be the holiday season, but Thursday’s non-league boys basketball game between Camas and Prairie had late-February madness written on it.

Especially the ending when Prairie junior Malachi Patton hit two free throws with 1.7 seconds left to break a tie that led to Prairie’s 60-58 victory over visiting Camas at Prairie High School.
