schedule
point loss
A two-foot jum per
with seven seconds on the
clock gave the Damascus
Christian Eagles the lead for
the first time in two quarters
but it was perfect timing to
win the “win or stay home”
state p la y o ff gam e held
Saturday night in Damascus
against the determined lone
Cardinals. The bucket gave
the Eagles a 48-46 edge and
dealt a heartbreaking loss to
the senior-laden lone squad.
The game was close
from the start with five ties
and eight lead changes in the
first half. The largest lead
either team could manage in
the early going was six
points, held by Damascus
with a minute left in the first
quarter. Tony Bolin hit two
big threes to open the second
p erio d but the E agles
responded, score for score.
With 1:05 left before the half,
Bolin hit a bucket and Kelly
Thom pson scored a free
throw to send the Cards to
the locker room leading 27-
24.
Tyler Brown scored
nine of his 15 points in the
third quarter, giving the
Cards an eight point lead,
their biggest lead of the night
midway through the period.
However, the momentum
shifted on a couple of calls
that went the Eagle’s way
and Damascus fought back
to tie the score on a reverse
lay-up at the buzzer, 36-36.
If the third quarter
b elo n g ed to B row n, it
looked like the fourth was
going to be Bolin’s as he
made six unanswered points
to start the quarter, building
the Cards a six-point lead.
With 5:08 remaining in the
game, the Card's Nik Kamp
fo u led h u rtin g the lone
d efen siv e
effo rt
and
sw inging the m om entum
back to the Eagles. The
Eagles put back an offensive
rebound to pull within four
then hit three of four free
throws to narrow the lead to
one. With 2:12, Bolin made
tw o free throw s but
Damascus responded with
another put-back followed
by a huge three pointer to
take the lead. Tyler Brown
hit a pair of free throws to
tie up the game again, 46 all
with 53 seconds remaining.
A time out was called as the
Cards brought the ball down
the flo o r and sent the
inbounds to the opposite end
of the court. The hands-on,
claw in g d efen se o f the
Damascus team forced the
Cardinals into one last and
fatal turnover that allowed
Damascus to win the game.
The C ardinals had
some trouble throughout the
game with the aggressive
d e fe n se
p lay ed
by
D am ascus. “ In the North
Casco league, they let the
team s play,” said Bolin.
“T h a t’s why we play the
b ig g e r
sch o o ls
like
Hermiston to try to prepare
for it.”
Bolin had a game
high 19 p o in ts, w hich
in clu d ed four big three
pointers and eight o f 10
points in the fourth quarter.
Brown scored 15 points,
including all points scored in
the third quarter. Thompson
added 12, 10 coming from
the free throw line on 10 of
13 shooting.
“ I th o u g h t lone
cam e and played a great
g a m e ,” said D am ascus
C hristian coach, Michael
Mai. “We told our guards
going in that they had to be
ready to put som e shots
down and they did. We were
lucky to come out of this
ahead.”
The seniors on the
Cardinals squad obviously
had a different outcome in
m ind. “ Everyone played
th e ir
h a rd e st,”
said
Thompson. “It was a very
physical game.”
B row n
who
wrapped up a sensational
basketball career at lone
noted that the Eagles played
very tough defense. “It was
hard to get a shot off. They
were getting better looks and
were more consistent in their
shooting,” he said.
A l t h o u g h
disappointed. Coach Dennis
Stefani found some positive
aspects. “I’m proud of the
kids. They played as hard as
they could. Losing Nik hurt
us and we asked a lot of Kip
K rebs who is ju s t a
sophomore. They knew the
in sid e gam e was our
w eak n ess
and
took
advantage of it.”
