Xavier Bledson has emerged as a reliable 3-point shooter for the Gainesville Red Elephants, even though the freshman’s most important basket of the season came much closer to the basket. Bledson took an in-bounds pass in the left corner with 3.6 seconds left, dribbled into the lane and banked in a short jumper at the buzzer to lift Gainesville to a dramatic 66-65 win against Apalachee on Tuesday night. “He overplayed it,” Bledson said of his defender.
