Game Details - Boys Basketball

When Timpview and Alta met almost a month ago, the Hawks used a big third quarter to help pull away from the Thunderbirds and win by 14. On Friday, it was Timpview’s third quarter that helped seal the deal. Finding themselves down one at the half, Timpview outscored Alta by three in the third, and that was all they needed to hang on for a 68-66 win in a back-and-forth region 8 battle. “We have a special team where no one cares who gets the credit, our guys just want to do whatever it takes to win,” said Timpview coach Izzy Ingle. “We did a great job valuing each possession and made huge free throws down the stretch to close it out.” The T-birds were led Taki Uluilakepa with 25 points, two rebounds, two assists, and three steals. Eli St. Clair, James Rust, and Dean Rueckert each chipped in 11 points in the victory.
