Freshman Dajuan Coleman had 18 points and 18 rebounds as Jamesville-DeWitt beat Peekskill 77-75 in overtime in the Class A final Sunday at the New York State Boys High School Basketball Championships.

Alshaw Hymes scored 21 points and Lamar Kearse added 16 for the Red Rams (26-1), while Tournament MVP Brandon Triche scored 12 points and added eight rebounds.

Daquan Brickhouse scored 22 points and tied a tournament record with 11 assists for the Red Devils (24-2), who also got 21 points from Ralph Watts.

Jamesville-DeWitt, which won its second straight title and third in six years, took the lead on Hymes' jump shot with 46 seconds remaining in regulation, but Peekskill tied it at 67-67 with a free throw.

Triche's turnaround shot at the buzzer hit the front of the rim, sending the game into overtime.

Peekskill missed three chances in the final seconds to send the game to another extra period. Trailing 77-75 with less than a minute to go, Watts hit the rim on successive jumpers with about 15 seconds left.

When Coleman missed the front end of a one-and-one, Peekskill raced to the other end, where Brickhouse came up just short on an open layup with three seconds remaining.

Peekskill led 37-35 at halftime.
