Skyline Varsity Upsets Twin Falls 73-72, Junior Varsity Wins

Twin Falls, ID
Article excerpt by Times-News Reporter David Bashore

Skyline senior Connor Flaherty lived the dream at Baun Gymnasium on Friday night. His team trailing by two points with just six ticks left on the clock, the 6-foot guard took the inbound pass after T.J. Ellis' made free throw and sprinted down the court against tight defense.

With a hand in his face as the final horn sounded, assumed the role of ruthless assassin as his 3-point bid from the left wing struck true to give the Grizzlies a 73-72 victory over Twin Falls.

The buzzer-beater capped a frantic last-gasp rally for Skyline (4-9, 2-3 Region Four-Five-Six), which trailed 71-67 with 22.9 seconds to go. But the Bruins (9-4, 3-2) melted down in the final few seconds to open the door for the Grizzlies.

"We didn't get a clean break off the (made) free throw, but time's running out. You just kind of hope for a prayer, and I got a little lucky tonight," said Flaherty. "We got back in with a great team effort, being down six with a minute and a half to go - a conference win, on the road, this is really big for us."

JV Wins, Varsity Falls to I.F. 55-48

The Skyline faithful were out in force tonight but poor shooting led to a disappointing loss against the Tigers in the varsity game. The score was just 9-9 after the first quarter. Idaho Falls pulled ahead to a 20-16 halftime led. They broke loose in the 3rd with a 22 point quarter, led by Walker with ten points. Skyline fought back to within 7, but couldn't get any closer. Idaho Falls went to the line 33 times, hitting 22. Skyline was 5-12 from the line.

The Junior Varsity team was down at half, but pulled ahead in the 3rd quarter and won comfortably.

Skyline has a road game at Twin Falls on Friday.

My favorite part about tonight (beside jv and varsity WINS) was the play of the 5^th and 6^th grade boys at halftime. They did GREAT! Here is a short clip of the kids:
