In this edition of the Three Point Shot, staff writers Warren Arceneaux and Rodrick Anderson review the week in Southwest Louisiana high school basketball.

Which team had the best week?

RA: St. Louis squeezed out a pair of wins this week this week and has won four of its last six games. The Saints beat Westlake by two points on the road and rallied from a 10-point deficit on Friday to beat Iowa by five points at Burton Coliseum.

DeQuincy sophomore Reese Ashworth had a huge buzzer-beating shot on Tuesday to keep the Tigers’ hot streak going.
