Westbrook 59, Spur 58 The Spur Bulldogs never trailed the Westbrook Wildcats Friday night until the final 10 seconds of the game.
With two minutes left in the third quarter the Bulldogs led by a dozen points, 48 to 36. But their free throw shooting grew cold, and the lead narrowed to 9, to 7, to 3—and then, with a little over a minute left, rather than try to grow the margin, the Bulldogs burned up the seconds on the clock, and when they finally took their shot, they missed.
A rapid succession of events found them only ahead of Westbrook by 1 point with 34 seconds to go.
In last half minute of the game, Westbrook sank their shot, and Spur could not.
