Word of Life made 7 of 10 shots from the line in overtime, including three front ends on one-and-one attempts, to slip by Mineral County 59-54 in a Division IV state semifinal at Reed High on Friday.
Boys Basketball
Before I can graduate, there’s some basketball to discuss. The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association boys and girls state tournaments are in Reno this week, and I took a break from writing my book about the 2015 football season (“The Year of the Butt Punt”) to make the trip north and check out all the action.
Adelson School’s boys basketball team will make just its second appearance in the Division IV state tournament this week.
And the Lions will try to win their first state crown without compromising the observance of their school’s faith.
Elijah Hoye made two free throws with 29.8 seconds left to break a 50-50 tie and lift Word of Life to a 54-50 win over Adelson School in the Division IV Southern League final at Desert Pines. Both teams advance to the state tournament, which begins Friday in Reno.
The Adelson School juniors, led by forward Jake Buchman, accounted for 48 points Friday as the Lions defeated Spring Mountain, 61-52 in a Division IV Southern League semifinal at Desert Pines.
