Hensler’s block lifts Rockets to double-overtime victory over Peoria Quest Academy

Luke Hensler made sure that Okawville was on the right side of overtime when it mattered most.

The Rockets (25-8) lost two overtime games in the regular season but Hensler’s denial of Terrell Walker’s game-winning shot lifted the Rockets to a 65-64, double-overtime win at the Class 1A Jacksonville Supersectional.

“It helps that we’ve been there and we know we wanted to go back because we’ve had that thirst, but we’ve played a lot of overtime games this year so that helped us stay cool (tonight),” Hensler said.
