Sturza trey lifts
Napavine to win
Tigers topple Freeman, 44-43, at buzzer
YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC
Tyson Sturza sank a 3-pointer as time expired to
lift third-ranked Napavine over No. 2 Freeman 44-43 on Friday in the
consolation bracket at the Class 1A boys state tournament.
Sturza took the inbounds pass off the left baseline
with 1.8 seconds left, and tossed up a slightly off-balance shot under
pressure that swished through the net as the final horn sounded.
Sturza finished with a game-high 20 points for the
Tigers, who improved to 21-5 and will play Toledo at 1:30 p.m. Saturday
for fourth and seventh places.
Teammate Loren Bluhm had 16 points and a game-high
12 rebounds.
Freeman, which ended its season at 22-4, broke a
41-41 tie when Dan Sanders put back his own miss with 23 seconds left.
Napavine then brought the ball up the court and called timeout to set up
the final play.
Malcolm Soelberg led Freeman with 14 points and
Andrew Wilkerson added 10.
