   PARKERSBURG – Samantha Ubben couldn’t let the moment get in her head.
   Making free throws was something she had been practicing since she was three years old, and it couldn’t be any different for her, not even if the BCLUW girls basketball team’s regional opener with Aplington-Parkersburg was on the line on Saturday.
   With 20.3 seconds left in overtime, Ubben hit both of her free throws and grabbed the rebound when A-P’s attempt at a game-winner fell short as BCLUW hung on for a 49-48 thriller at A-P High School.
   BCLUW advanced to travel to Montezuma for a regional quarterfinal on Tuesday.
   Ubben finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Her trip to the charity stripe came not long after Kaitlyn Mohwinkle made some key free throws for A-P to force the overtime period.
   “I definitely tried to keep the mindset of a normal free throw,” Ubben said. “Our boys were chanting when Mohwinkle was up, ‘Game is on the line!,’ but I just thought, ‘The game’s not on the line, it’s just a normal free throw, we do them all the time in practice.’”
