Skyline Takes Bonneville to Double OT in 89-86 Loss

Jan 292011

Grizz point guard Zach Smith had 27 points, 9 Assists, and 7 rebounds in a double overtime loss against cross-town rival Bonneville Friday night. Braden Lott scored 19 and Murdoch had 14 including four 3-pointers. Tanner Bodily scored 12 but fouled out in regulation, along with fellow starting post player Tyson Dennert.

After being down by 11 at halftime, Skyline battled back several times to keep the game in reach. With the game tied and the clock winding down, a foul call on an offensive board put Jared Stutzman from Bonneville at the free throw line. He hit both shots, but Zach Smith of Skyline drove the length of the floor and nailed a floater in the lane to beat the buzzer and put the game into overtime.

In overtime Skyline had it’s chances, but some missed foul shots left the game tied with the clock winding down. This time it was Skyline’s Braden Lott with the ball, and after a driving shot that just missed, the game went into double OT and Bonneville pulled off the three point victory.

Coach Ty Shippen said, “We weren’t getting back in transition in the first half and dug ourselves a hole, but I am so proud of how our kids battled back. They stayed together and put themselves in a position to win going down the stretch. It was a great game that we can learn a lot from. Bonneville played an excellent game.”

Bonneville’s freshman phenom Jared Stutzman scored 25 points in the win, and Kalin Keck and Dylan Black each had 16. Click here for complete game stats.

Here is the game summary from the Idaho Falls Post Register sports reporter:

At Bonneville, 32 minutes was not enough to decide Friday’s high school boys basketball game between Skyline and Bonneville. Nor was 36.

It took two overtimes for Bonneville to finally emerge with an 89-86 home win against Skyline.

Skyline point guard Zach Smith nearly carried his team to a win on his own, scoring the final four points of the game in regulation then adding eight more in two overtimes. He finished with a game-high 27 points.

“We absolutely could not stop Smith,” Bonneville coach Tim Hooten said. “That kid is quick. He hit a shot to force overtime where we took a timeout to set up a double team on him and he blew threw the double team and shot a 10-foot raindrop.”

Skyline grabbed a five-point lead in the first overtime, but Bonneville senior guard Dylan Black picked an opportune time to hit his only 3-pointer of the game to force the second overtime.

Kalin Keck hit his third 3-pointer of the game in the second overtime to give Bonneville a three-point lead, a lead the Bees held until the final buzzer by hitting their free throws down the stretch.

Bonneville (9-7) travels to Blackfoot on Wednesday, while Skyline (8-8) hosts Highland on Wednesday.
