Executing with precision, Alta had a 47-30 lead with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter when Brock Reese madea rebound basket and all those doubts about Jordan’s stunning region start surfaced again. But the Hawks suddenly got tentative and conservative. They passed on wide-open three-point opportunities that only moments earlier they had been swishing en routeto building the 17-pointlead. And the Beetdiggers ratcheted « uptheir full-court press. The momentum shifted when Sharp hit three of his six Cup Event Endangered itblocked. Alta got the ball back after a Jordan turnover, but Cory Wardle’s 30-foot desperation heave hit thefrontof the rim at the buzzer. Garn Smith led the Hawks with 15 points, while Broadhead added 13 to Jordan’stotal. Olsen was almosta hero in the overtime, too. He made two pressure-packed free-throws with 47 seconds left to tie it. Jordan then worked the clock down.and Sharp made his move toward the basket with eight sec- onds left. He faked Wardle right, pulfed up and hit the sweet jumper. “That's the first time I have madea shotall year,” he said. “I have beenoff all year.
