Many basketball coaches will often tell you that close games are won and lost at the free-throw line.  

That was the case for West Middlesex Wednesday night, as they survived a scare from Saegertown.

Tied at 46, with 5.4 seconds to go...Carlie Beatty knocked down a pair from the charity stripe, ultimately sealing the deal in a 48-46 victory.

The Big Red's are headed the to the District 10 2A title game, a stage they're very familiar with.  West Middlesex won the last five district crowns, well deserved.

Beatty, no doubt the hero in Wednesday night's semifinals.  The Junior-captain notched 18 points and 15 rebounds.

West Middlesex will host Cambridge Springs in the district final Saturday
