On a night that free throws weren't friendly to either Widefield or Sierra, it's fitting that their game Tuesday night was decided at the charity stripe.
Wow — "wide open" was the theme in boys basketball this year, folks, and Air Academy's track meet performance vs. formerly-undefeated Longmont proved just that in Class 4A's title game on Saturday.
In a game of inches, adjustments matter. And in Friday’s 4A boys basketball semifinal, there was never much breathing room — on the court and on the scoreboard.
No. 1 Longmont snuck past Valor Christian 47-46 in a back and forth battle to move to 26-0 and more importantly, earn a bid to the Final 4 for the first time since 2010.
