Fourth-quarter blues

On Senior Night, the Davis High boys basketball team let one get away. The Blue Devils (3-20, 0-10) held a lead for much of the second quarter and trailed by only five late in the third on Friday but fell to Laguna Creek 70-61.

DHS tried to pack the gym for a "break the record" night on the Blue Devils' final home game of the season.

Mauricio Davidson, one of four seniors honored, had a game high 16 points and Greg Carter added 10. Dan Goulding, Brent MacDonald and Steven Hoffart were the other seniors.

Despite one of its highest scoring outputs of the year, DHS just couldn’t come up with defensive rebounds when it needed to in the fourth quarter.

The Blue Devils were on a 7-2 run and had cut the deficit to eight with 4:05 left. But on consecutive Cardinal possessions, DHS allowed offensive rebounds that led to five Laguna Creek (7-15, 3-7) points and put the game out of reach.

All that remains for DHS is the Delta Valley Conference tournament next week.
