BOYS’ BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Bosscher hits game-winning 3 to lift Pioneers over Trojans
Time was running out and Aaron Bosscher decided the game was over.
Nooksack Valley was down by two points and Bosscher passed up a clear lane to the hoop for the tie and instead pulled up and nailed a 3-pointer to hand the Pioneers the 56-55 non-conference win over Meridian on Thursday, Dec. 10, at home.
“I asked him after if he knew he had a wide open layup and he said, ‘I was going for the win,’” Nooksack Valley coach Chris Scrimsher said in a phone interview. “It was a hard fought game between two evenly matched teams.”
Connor Beard led the Pioneers with 19 points and four assists, Bosscher had 18 points and nine rebounds and Casey Bauman pulled down nine rebounds as Nooksack Valley improved to 2-2 on the season.
Brady Moore led all scorers with 20 points for Meridian, Derek Campfield had 12 points and seven rebounds and Daniel Young also pulled down seven rebounds.
