Our Zimmerer Kubota Country Roads takes us to the 2A state final game where Lipan was looking to finish the deal after coming up short on a state title the past 2 consecutive year. Their motto this year was "We're not leaving without it" and it looked like that would hold true early on
Terrific ball movement by Lipan in the first half leads to an easy bucket for Reese Cook as the Indians races to an early 16-5 lead.
This is an experienced Lipan bunch with 7 seniors who have been on varsity since they were freshmen. That experience showed itself on both sides as the blocked shot by Tripp Phillips leads to a fast break and Garrett Smith would capitalize with the "and 1" basket. 21-10 Lipan after 1.
More great ball movement in the second half quarter as Tate Branson's touch pass leads to a layup for Cook. Lipan up 32-19 at the break.
LaPoyner would come back strong in the second half and when Mann Scott scores on this layup, the Flyers took a 2 point lead.
LaPoyner up 46-45 with under a minute but check out the backdoor pass from Phillips to Smith for 2 of his 21 points plus the foul. Lipan up 2
Last shot for LaPoyner and the Indians defense forces the turnover when 4 seconds left and then they fall on it. Lipan would hit free throws to seal the game as the Indians win the 2A state final, 50-46
