Junior center Tony Messer tipped in a basket at the buzzer to lift Belfry past Prestonsburg 70-69 in overtime in the 15th region tournament at the East Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville Thursday night.

Messer scored 24 points, pulled down 18 rebounds and blocked eight shots for Belfry, now 10-17.

Freshman guard Jarredd Jarrell led Prestonsburg with 22 points, but missed a shot at the buzzer of regulation that would have extended Prestonsburg's season.

No. 1 Trinity 58, No. 5 Ballard 55 (7th): Trinity came from behind to beat Ballard in the semifinals and will face No. 13 St. Xavier in the finals Monday. St. Xavier beat Central 70-59 earlier.
