The free throw line proved to be a good place to get rid of some first game jitters.
The East Butler girls basketball team took advantage as Howells racked up the fouls in a 55-44 victory for the Tigers in the first round of the Class D-1 State Tournament.
It was the first win for East Butler in the state tournament since 2001. The team had lost in the first round in its two subsequent appearances in 2007 and 2008.

There was no Hollywood ending, but the East Butler girls basketball team still wound up with a feel-good story.
The second-ranked Tigers finished second in the Class D-1 State Tournament, losing 57-52 to third-ranked Elkhorn Valley in the championship game at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Saturday morning.
"We just fell too far behind," East Butler Coach Gerry Reinsch said. "We had too many dumb fouls and turnovers in the first half. We had trouble running our offense and weren't aggressive in the first half."
