The clock ticks down to 3, 2, 1. He shoots, swish; the crowd goes wild. Every kid who loves the game of basketball basket-ball has done this routine, preparing pre-paring themselves to make the game-winning basket. Wednesday night, junior Skyler Half ord did just that, hitting a half -court shot as time expired, propelling the Timpanogos to a 59-58 road victory over Lehi. Can it get any better than this? The announcer repeated over and over again, "What a great high school basketball game." For Timpanogos, the statement state-ment is true. With the game tied at 56-alL the Pioneers called timeout with 12 seconds left. Lehi in-bounded in-bounded the ball to point guard Nick Roberts, who found forward for-ward Todd Lyrtsky curling off a pick into the lane. Lynsky rose for a shot that was deflected, and center Tyler Jensen went up high and grabbed the ball out of the air. He went up strong, absorbed some contact and finished the play. The ref blew his whistle as time expired. After consulting with one another, anoth-er, the ref s put two seconds back on the clock and Jensen headed to the foul line with Lehi up 58-56. "At the timeout when we were up two, I tried to tell them in the huddle that this game was not over," said Lehi coach Craig Gladwell. "While they were smiling and laughing laugh-ing and enjoying the win and now look where they are because be-cause they failed to play the last two seconds." Timpanogos called a timeout and drew up a play. Assuming Jensen would miss, the play was designed to go to Half ord. "We believed he was going to miss. That's why we brought Colton in," said Timpanogos coach Clay Anderson. "Why they left Skyler open is beyond me. That's what the play was: Colton get it, outlet it and Skyler Sky-ler shoot it and it worked." Jensen's free throw was short, and the ball was rebounded by Colton Willman, who passed the ball to Half ord.

FRIDAY, DEC 8 Boys basketball Russ Lyman HERALD CORRESPONDENT In a game that could easily be characterized as a boxing match which had several momentum mo-mentum shifts, the smallest player on the floor delivered the knockout blows. Marcus Duran kept No. 4-ranked 4-ranked Murray in the game early, then put them ahead for good late to lead the Spartans past Mountain View 62-55. After scoring 11 first-half points, Duran didn't take another anoth-er shot until midway through the fourth quarter when he SAY wl ' 1877-844-1031 tf nrngflfcl MB Decor -CZ , fe W W 947 - 0249 I 1 J o Cf MARIO RUIZNorth County Timpanogos' Noelle Sanders (4) puts defensive pressure on Timpview's Jane Anne Jackson during Friday's game. showed zeros. "With two full seconds to go, we wanted to assure a tie, so we didn't plan to miss the free throw," Gladwell said. "The thing that was frustrating frustrat-ing was that we left their best shooter wide open. It's a tough shot, but our whole plan was to be on him and make him go away form the basket to catch the ball. The guys that were supposed to be on him were soft and just let him catch it with momentum towards the basket, which gave him a good look. Good shooters are going to hit that when you let them have their rythym." Jensen played great for Lehi, as he was virtually unstoppable unstop-pable down low, finishing with 17 points. "Lehi played really hard and they are pretty athletic. We were real lucky to win that game," Anderson said. This is a far cry from the Timpanogos team a year a drilled an open 3, which gave Murray (30) a 5448 lead. "It was a clutch shot; I got chills after I hit it," Duran said. The Bruins' Taylor Russell drilled a clutch 3 of his own to bring the score to 54-51, but Duran, a sophomore, answered once again after he was fouled late in the fourth quarter. Amidst the chants of "choke, choke, choke" coming from the Mountain View student section, Duran cooly hit both ends of the 1-and-l to give the Spartans a five-point lead. "Marcus stepped up huge for us. In the first half he carried us, and for a little guy that's a lot of weight on his shoulders," said Murray coach Scott Bush-nell. Bush-nell. "I thought he was outstanding, out-standing, his best game by far." Duran's final blow came in the game's final minute when he drove into the lane and dished to an open Andrew Christensen, who converted an easy two to give the Spartans a six-point lead and effectively end any chance of a Bruin comeback. Duran led a balanced scoring scor-ing effort for Murray with 16 points. Three other Spartans scored in double figures as Zadi Meyer scored 14, Rhett Gardiner provided 12, and Cody Killian added 11 points. Much of Murray's offense came from 3-pointers as 10 of the Spartans' 20 field goals were 3s. Duran Deciding to sell was tough. Using a REALTOR made it easy.

Murray had so many hot shooters shoot-ers that Duran didn't mind the fact that he had to share the 3-point 3-point shots with his teammates. "We have so many shooters shoot-ers on the team and had so many open shots," Duran said. "When my shots come, they come. Everything about it was a total team win." In the fourth quarter, the Spartans opened up a six-point lead before going cold for a stretch, during which time the Bruins (04) made a run in which they opened up a seven-point lead. The balanced Murray attack and the stellar 3-point shooting helped the Spartans overcome the deficit. Murray quickly recovered their shooting form as Meyer, Duran and Killian each hit big 3s in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter. "I thought our poise in the fourth quarter was the difference dif-ference in a real even game," Bushnell said. Big games from Mountain View's Taylor Russell and Hold-en Hold-en Jasper, who had 19 points a piece, weren't enough to keep the Bruins in front. In the first half the teams battled bat-tled back and forth, with Mountain Moun-tain View dominating inside and Murray hitting several 3s.

Two travel ing violations on back-to-back possessions by Timpview with under a minute left by Timpview gave Timpanogos the chances it needed as the Timberwolves defeated de-feated Timpview 5S52 on Friday night. With the game clock nearing one minute left in regulation, Timpview had the ball and a one-point one-point lead, looking to run down the clock and take the win But traveling was called on the possession at the top of the key, giving the Timberwolves an opportunity op-portunity to take the lead. Amy Weitzeil was fouled in the post and calmly made both her free throws, her first attempts from the line in the game, to give the Timberwolves the lead at 53-52. Now trailing, Timpview again tried to score, but was again called for traveling. Timpanogos' Jen Nielsen went to the line on the other end with 12 seconds left and scored her seventh and eighth points in the game, extending the lead to three. The Thunderbirds' last-second 3 was blocked at the buzzer and Timpanogos walked away with the win. "It was really physical and we had to fight back," said Weitzeil, who had a game-high 14 points to go with five rebounds re-bounds and three blocks. "We just wanted it." The game was close through four quarters, with neither team building more than a six-point lead. In the first half, Timpview's Chelsea Bridgewater (eight points, seven rebounds) and Kariee Weight (four points, seven rebounds) had their way in the paint, getting rebounds and scoring scor-ing layups at will Timpanogos stayed in the game with free throws and the game was 24-23 24-23 for Timpview at halftime. The Timberwolves shot 30 free throws to Timpview's nine. "We knew that they had some good players and good shooters and we knew they in dual meet with PG would take a four-point lead into the break, but Russell scored twice in the last 3 seconds of the half after hitting a shot, then making a layup after the Bruins stole the inbounds pass. In the third quarter the two teams picked up where they left off with Murray drilling 3-pointers and Jasper and Russell Rus-sell providing most of the scoring scor-ing for Mountain View.

"We didn't do that in the first half. We were on our heels." Timpview's Aubrey Reeves came out on fire to start the second sec-ond half, hitting four baskets off a variety of one- on-one moves before the T'Wolves even had time to get their warmups off. But Reeves was hit with her fourth foul and had to go to the bench. The Timberwolves began to take the momentum, including includ-ing a steal and coast-to-coast layup by Noelle Sanders to again get within a point. Timpview coach Kawika Akina was given a technical foul and Timpanogos tied the game after making one of two free throws. Gabrielle Pinegar and Reeves each had 12 points for the Thunderbirds. Cali Nelson scored 12 points for Timpanogos and Stacy Bartholomew played tough defensively de-fensively with six steals, eight rebounds and the game-saving block at the end of regulation.
