CARBON HILL — Corbin Barnett’s steal and buzzer-beating layup lifted Vinemont’s boys to a 52-50 area win over Carbon Hill on Friday.

The victory was the Eagles’ first of the season.

“The whole team played tough,” Red and White coach Todd Johnson said.

Vinemont trailed by 10 points with three minutes to go before Garrett Boland and Barnett each collected a trey to trim the deficit to four. Jaython Blanton then drained two free throws and Boland sank a field goal to knot things up at 50-all with 15 seconds remaining and set up Barnett’s heroics.

Boland and Barnett each finished with 20 points, while Seth Campbell added eight.
