DURHAM – The free throw line in the final minute of a championship game is a scary place to be for many high school basketball players.
For Cody Graham, it might as well be his comfort zone.
With 38.1 seconds left in Saturday’s Division I championship game, and the Portsmouth High School boys basketball team clinging to a two-point lead against Dover, Graham was about to go to the line for a one-and-one.

It was the first of six straight free throws in the final seconds for top-seeded Portsmouth, as the Clippers held on for a 46-38 win, ending No. 11 Dover’s surprise playoff run, at the University of New Hampshire.
