Montville - John Vogt banked home a short jumper with five seconds left in overtime to give seventh-seeded St. Bernard School a 61-60 victory over No. 10 Plainfield in the playdown round of the Eastern Connecticut Conference boys' basketball tournament Thursday night.

The Saints (15-6) will play No. 2 Ledyard in Saturday's quarterfinal round at Fitch High School at 4 p.m.

St. Bernard, which forced overtime at 57-57 on Remy Bonser's 3-pointer (he surpassed 1,000 career points on the shot) with just under a minute left in regulation, trailed 60-57 late in overtime when Graham Fagerquist made a pair of free throws to pull the Saints with 60-59, setting up Vogt's late-game dramatics.
