High school roundup

EUGENE — Derek Davis hit two free throws with 20 seconds left to give the Philomath High boys basketball team a three-point lead and the Warriors ran the clock out on No. 2 Marist to claim a 53-52 nonleague victory.

After Davis’ free throws, Marist called a timeout and Philomath (6-1) switched its defense and forced the Spartans to settle for a layin.

“We didn’t want them to get a three-pointer, and by the time they figured out the defense and got the layin, there was only four seconds left,” PHS coach Blake Ecker said.

David Sturner then held the ball out of bounds as the clock expired.

Sturner led all scorers with 24 points.

Philomath trailed 47-36 entering the fourth quarter, but Sturner made back-to-back 3-pointers and the Spartans concentrated on him the rest of the half. That opened the lanes for Davis and Trevor Motter, who combined for 19 points.
