Ever so close to an unbelievable milestone, Glasgow's Jay Lee went up for a block he might regret for a while.

The Yellowjackets' senior needed just one more point during Saturday morning's Class 1 third-place game to reach 3,000 for his career. Only five other players in Missouri history belong to that club.

With Glasgow comfortably headed for the win, Lee grabbed his fifth steal and turned it into a layup with 1 minute, 34 seconds remaining to give himself 28 points against Chadwick and 2,999 for his career. Twenty-six seconds later, Lee picked up his fourth foul on a reach after he missed a driving layup.

Chadwick hit two free throws, and Lee missed a jumper from the left wing. On the other end, Blake Daugherty went up for a layup, and Lee was called for a contact foul attempting to block Daugherty's shot.

"I didn't think I touched him at all," Lee said.

Lee finished with 28 points in his final high school game to go with nine rebounds. He helped Glasgow earn the 100th win during his four years as a varsity player, and coach Mick Cropp believes he will finish second all-time in steals.

After fouling out, Lee will also stand sixth all-time in points scored -- one point shy of joining an exclusive quintet that includes Basketball Hall of Famer and former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley, a graduate of Crystal City High School.

Lee made 13 field goals but did not attempt a free throw against Chadwick. Lee and his teammates were well aware of the potential milestone, and there was an effort to get there by all parties involved.

"Well, he shot 30 times. I'd say he tried as hard as he could," Cropp said.

After Lee picked up his fifth foul, Cropp called a timeout and held a brief discussion with one of the officials. Cropp declined to give the specifics of that talk.

"Refs have a tough job. They're just like kids; they're never trying to screw up. They're doing the best they can," he said.
