BRADENTON — Despite trailing for virtually the entire game, and by as many as 10 in the fourth, Charlotte High School had two final-minute shots to pull even with Braden River Friday.

The Tarpons (7-4, 3-3 District 7A-11) found themselves with the ball and down by two with 44 seconds to play. After Naidy Perez missed a 3-pointer that would have given the Tarpons the lead, the Pirates (8-3, 4-2) grabbed the rebound and the Tarpons were forced to foul with 33 seconds left.
