Lindley Shoots Wv To Victory

Frontier League

West Valley and Pullman, basketball teams with the best overall records among Frontier League boys, engaged in some early sparring beyond the 3-point arc.

But when Brian Lindley lit it up, it was lights out for the visiting Greyhounds of Pullman, who fell 65-50 Saturday on the second night of league play.

The Eagles led 46-43 with 1 minute left in the third quarter.

Lindley buried one of his seven 3-pointers to beat the buzzer and make the score 50-43. He added two more 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, when the Eagles turned a taut contest into a romp.

“I thought Brian’s 3 at the end of the quarter was huge,” said WV coach Joe Feist. “When he takes good shots he doesn’t miss often.”

Lindley had struggled through a 2-for17 shooting night Friday in Clarkston and didn’t score until the second quarter against Pullman. But he hit 6 of 10 second-half shots for 17 of his game-high 25 points, leaving WV 2-0 in league and 9-2 overall.

“My philosophy is you just gotta keep shooting,” Lindley said. “Eventually they’re going to go down.”

Of the game’s first nine baskets, seven were 3’s. Pullman (1-1, 8-3) led 22-18 early in the second quarter.

WV’s Joe Bonner hit a pair of free throws, then made a steal and hit a layin at the other end for a 34-28 Eagles lead at intermission.

Jeremiah Donati’s two 3-pointers midway through the third period reduced the WV lead to a basket before Lindley responded.

Lindley’s final two 3-pointers put the Eagles up 62-48, and Bonner finished off the Greyhounds with an inside basket and free throw.”I thought David did a great job of taking care of the ball,” Feist said. “That might have been the key.”That, the fact Pullman point guard Ray Kallaher fouled out with 5:52 remaining and WV’s 52-34 rebounding advantage. Greg Jones had 15 boards.”It was a good weekend for us,” Feist said. “Neither win was pretty, but I thought we competed hard.”
