Gar-Field Beats Langely High, 59-56

Langley and Gar-Field went back and forth all night, but in the end it was a pair of free throws that decided the game.

Gar-Field's Curtis Einsmann hit two clutch free throws with 37.6 seconds left in the game to give the Indians a 57-56 lead. After getting a stop, two more free throws sealed the win in Langley's tipoff tournament.

The Indians took a 19-15 lead into the second quarter, but Langley started the quarter on a 9-4 run to take a 24-23 lead with 5:48 left in the half.

Gar-Field wrested the lead back from Langley, and the Indians led 35-31 at halftime.

The see-saw action continued in the third quarter, which belonged to the Saxons. Daniel Dixon found the outside touch, as he gave Langley a five-point lead heading into the final quarter.

In a game that saw 10 lead changes, the biggest one, of course, came right at the end.

Einsmann led all scorers with 23 points.

Gar-Field will take on Hayfield in the tipoff tournament on Saturday. Host Langley will play Hylton.
