We’ve seen great comebacks in sports and we’ve seen teams make comebacks, but fall short.

For some, the greatest comeback was watching the Buffalo Bills overcome a 35-3 deficit in the 1993 NFL playoffs to defeat the Houston Oilers, 41-38, in overtime. There have been many others throughout the history of sports.

On Tuesday night, Bowling Green’s boys basketball team had a rough first quarter.

The Buccaneers’ offense was struggling with turnovers and missed shots and Forrest County seemingly couldn’t miss. Forrest County hit five 3-pointers and led 27-1 after the first quarter.

But over the years in sports, we’ve been taught to expect the unexpected.

The chances of Bowling Green — which at one point was down 41-12 in the second quarter — coming back and making a game of it didn’t look real good, but the Buccaneers did just that.

They still trailed 43-20 at halftime, but chipped away at the lead throughout the second half.

The Bucs trimmed it to 61-47 through three and 61-49 early in the fourth.

At this point, the Buccaneers were just a good run away from being right back in the game. They made that run. Trailing 64-51, Bowling Green scored seven in a row and were right back in it at 64-58 with still 4:42 on the clock.

Unfortunately for Bowling Green, Forrest County countered the run with an 8-0 spurt to essentially put the game out of doubt with 2:42 left.

Bowling Green may have lost the game, but the Bucs deserve credit for hanging tough and coming back.
