Jumper saves Devils

Monica Proeung hit a jump shot with 0.8 seconds left on the clock on Friday to lift the Davis High girls basketball team to a 36-34 win over Franklin.

The Blue Devils (12-10, 6-2 Delta Valley Conference) held a 34-29 lead with 1:05 left but Kim Manlangit hit a 3-pointer and Kynndal Cornelius made a layup to tie up the game with 30 ticks on the clock.

The final play was designed for Nikol Allison, but with the Blue Devil star covered and the clock winding down, Proeung took the shot.

It was an ugly all-around game as DHS turned the ball over 29 times and the Wildcats (9-12, 2-6) had 27 of their own.

Shelby Ferguson and Allison each had 13 points to lead DHS and Allison had 12 rebounds.
