The Juneau-Douglas High School boys completed a three-game road trip with a 61-59 win over Lathrop Saturday, closing the Malemutes out in a free throw shooting contest to go undefeated on the weekend.<\/p>\n

JDHS trailed Lathrop until the last two minutes of the game, when a big shot by Sebastian Bradley tied the game 55-55 with a minute and a half to go.<\/p>\n

Junior Erik Kelly then split a pair of free throws to give the Crimson Bears the 1-point lead. Kelly got to the line again with 43 seconds left, and again split his free throws for a 57-55 lead.<\/p>\n

Lathrop\u2019s Jeremiah Handy (20 points) then tied the game 57-57 by hitting both of his foul shots. <\/p>\n

Kelly came up huge with a field goal and the foul from the low block with nine seconds left. He couldn\u2019t complete the 3-point play, however, giving Lathrop the last possession and a chance to tie or hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with nine seconds left on the clock.<\/p>\n

On the ensuing possession, Kelly fouled Lathrop\u2019s Chateau Reed, who nailed both his free throws to tie the game 59-59.<\/p>\n

JDHS\u2019 Sebastian Bradley saved the day by getting to the line and hitting both his free throws with only a few ticks left on the clock to close the game 61-59.<\/p>\n

Bryce Swofford and Kelly led JDHS with 16 points each. Kasey Watts followed JDHS\u2019 big men with eight points.<\/p>\n

Handy\u2019s 20 points were a game-high. Following Handy for the Malemutes were Reed and Jake Carlson with 11 each.<\/p>\n

JDHS heads back up North for four games next weekend against Chugiak, Soldotna, Houston and Palmer.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Southeast teams have a hard time making an impression up north as Anchorage and Fairbanks teams don\u2019t much Region V competition. If the Crimson Bears can continue their hot streak against the rest of the state, they could vault up from No. 5 in the Alaska Association of Basketball Coach\u2019s poll, and, more importantly, make their case for an at-large bid to the state tournament should they not win the Region V tournament.<\/p>\n
