Donovan Steals A Win As Mead Trips Shadle
GSL boys
Mead’s Terry Donovan stole the ball and took it three-quarters length of the court for a lay-up with four seconds left as the league-champion Panthers held off Shadle Park 51-49 to end the Greater Spokane League boys basketball season at the Coliseum Thursday night.
After a Mead miss and the game tied at 49, the Highlanders (5-11, 7-13) tried to stall out the last 1:41 for a final shot before Donovan’s steal.
The Panthers (13-3, 15-5) never led until Donovan’s layup.
Rob Debeaumont led all scorers with 20 points. He scored 12 of the points in the first half as Shadle Park built an 11-point lead during the second quarter.
Mead then chipped away, tying the game at 30 and 36 in the third quarter.
Jason Smith led Mead with 13 points.
