Jake Pemberton had not missed a free throw all night, but walking up to the line in a tie game with 7.6 seconds remaining Friday night, the Mountain Vista senior nearly psyched himself out.
The Highlands Ranch Falcons held Dominique Collier scoreless through the first quarter of Friday night’s game. He answered by scoring the next 26 points for his team en route to the Angels’ 64-44 win, putting them back in the state final four.
Brandon Bodnar, Evan Smith and Alex Semadeni ignited a run that broke open the Class 5A state quarterfinal against Arapahoe and eventually led to a 68-58 victory at the Denver Coliseum.
