Despite having their two top players, Mitch Richmond and Brian Grant, on the bench with injuries, the Kings grabbed a two point lead late in the game on the long range shooting of Jazz-kill- er Mahmoud Abdul-Ra- uf who hit on five of seven three point attempts and missed just five shots over the entire game. His 34 points was a game high and a season high for the former Denver Nugget.

Skyline countered late in the first as Cory LeRoy scored off an Austin Binks assist. The half ended with Davis up One factor both teams did not count on was the heat. Both squads had a full head of steam in the first period, but seemed to lose a step in the second when the heat began to take its toll. Both teams had a hard time getting ready for the second period, but the Eagles struck first as Chad Gilbert tied the score 15 minutes into the second as the Darts seemed to lose some intensity. The game ended with both teams knotted at 2 going into the first overtime. Davis Head Coach Bret Jepson needed to add some scoring punch to the lineup so he sent sophomore Derek Aston into the game and he scored two goals in the second overtime to give the Darts the victory. I was not planning on using Derek, but the whole team was worn out from the heat and the two practices 1 put te 2-- 1. them through last week, Jepson said. He came in fresh as a striker, and scored the first goal off an assist from Doug Timothy and Brett Markham, and the second goal on his own. He gave us huge lift when we needed it. In the OT they were all drained and we put too much pressure on ourselves. Skyline had nothing to lose and we didnt react well. Skyline is a better team than their record indicates. In any other region they would be the number one team." After the game Skyline coach Shawn Kennedy echoed the remarks of Jepson about the heat. Clearly both teams were affected by the heat. It w as a good game by all. We had nothing to lose. In the OTs we though we had a chance, but Davis is a good team and they played better than we did." Yates feit that they needed this win and that they needed to play harder. We knew that they would come out hard. We needed to come together more as a team, because the other game will be just as hard. We were really tired this week. Coach worked us hard on conditioning and we felt the effects in the game.
