UMATILLA 61, BURNS 57 — In Burns, Umatilla boys’ basketaball led by two points late in the fourth quarter, but fouled a Burns player who sank two free throws to force overtime tied at 55.
Andres Sanguino made a layup off a steal in overtime, but the biggest play was senior Forrest McBride knocking down a straightaway three-pointer to cushion a four point lead with time running scarce.
Jorge Campos got four fouls in the first half, played 30 seconds of the fourth quarter and fouled out.
“It’s just amazing,” said coach Chris Wyland. “Any time you lose a starting senior point guard like that and have guys step up in a hostile gym is very impressive. It says a lot about the guys we have on our team.”
