3A boys basketball: Phelps does it all as Bayfield beats Alamosa
(Brent New/CHSAANow.com) DENVER — Bayfield’s Ryan Phelps struggled from the field in an otherwise standout performance on Thursday evening.
He found the net when needed, too.
The red-headed bruiser had 10 points, 16 rebounds and five emphatic blocks, helping the No. 7 Wolverines beat No. 2 Alamosa 43-38 in the Class 3A state quarterfinals.
He saved his best for last.
Clinging to a 40-38 lead in the final 35 seconds, Phelps came up with a steal, a defensive board and hit three free throws to hold off the Mean Moose. It was the kind of clutch performance that allowed the senior and his coach to look past his 2-for-13 shooting.
“We focus on defense and rebounding first in our program tonight, and he epitomizes that,” Bayfield coach Jeff Lehnus said. “He may not have scored many points tonight, but he did everything else. And then he made those clutch points.”
Hayden Farmer had 13 points and Keyon Prior and Dax Snooks each had eight for the Wolverines, who shot just 31 percent in the win. Ry Adams had a game-high 16 for the Mean Moose.
It was the fourth meeting of the season between the Intermountain League rivals — and it went much like the first three, with gritty defense and pound-them-out buckets leading the way.
The season series ended in a split with Bayfield winning the last two, including the district championship on Feb. 24.
“It was a pleasure to be a part of a league with two teams this good,” Alamosa coach Brandon Brubacher said. “It was tough to face them again, but that’s what happens when two teams are doing this well.”
Adams put Alamosa on his back in the opening minutes of the third, scoring eight straight points to give the Mean Moose their only lead of the night. The 6-2 senior swished two 3s and capped off his solo run with a nifty reverse layup to make it 24-23 with 5:49 left in the quarter. But it was short-lived.
Alamosa led for 20 seconds before Farmer hit two free throws to put Bayfield back in the lead for good.
“It was 20 seconds too long,” cracked Lehnus.
Bayfield led 23-16 at half, using an all-around performance from Phelps to lead the way. The Mean Moose didn’t have an answer for him in the paint early on and wouldn’t score from the field until there was 24 seconds left in the first.
Phelps showed more of his all-around dominance in the second, too, soaring high for a crushing block at the hoop and following it with a quick steal and hoop moments later to put the Wolverines up 18-11.
“I just want to win,” he said.
Bayfield will face No. 6 Faith Christian in the semifinals Friday.
[divider]
(6) Faith Christian 65, (14) Manual 57
Blair McVicker had 25 points and Jonah Gardner added 20 points, leading the Eagles (19-6) back to the semifinals.
The Eagles are one win away from returning to the state championship, where they lost to Sterling 48-47 a year ago.
Jaedon Bowles had 17 points and nine rebounds for Manual (16-9). The Thunderbolts finished with their third straight winning season.
[divider]
(12) Lutheran 53, (20) Colorado Academy 46
Matthew Thompson scored 17 as the Lions (19-6) moved into the semifinals with a win over the Mustangs (16-9).
Thompson shot 6 of 8 from the field and to lead Lutheran, which shot 51 percent. Justin Kenny added 14 off the bench and Kole Brandon had 11.
DeAnte Dennis led Colorado Academy with 20 points and Alex Mushkin had 16.

(1) Sterling 58, (9) Strasburg 23
Sterling’s season is now just two wins away from perfection.
Bodie Hume scored 24 — one more than the Indians (18-7) — and the Tigers (24-0) moved on to the semifinals.
Sterling shot 51 percent from the field and held Strasburg to less than 20 percent shooting.

No. 3 Kent Denver boys basketball rallies late to avoid upset from No. 8 Manual
(Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com) DENVER — For many, the Thunderdome at Manual High School is a magical place. Kent Denver feels it should be included in the many. There’s something about that gym for the Class 3A No. 3 Sun Devils.
They have a knack of overcoming large deficits and coming away with wins.
They trailed Manual big last year only to rally back beat the Thunderbolts. They opted to repeat that successful formula this year. After trailing by 10 heading into the fourth quarter, Kent came away with a 69-68 win, thanks to, among many things, a free throw from Zach Schlichting.
He went to the line with 14 seconds left and the game tied. He had two chances to give the Sun Devils (11-2 overall, 4-0 Class 3A Metro) a lead.
He missed the first one.
“I thought it was good when it went off my hand,” he said. “So I knew the second one was going in.”
(Dan Mohrmann/CHSAANow.com) No. 8 Manual had a chance to get off a shot, but Jaedon Bowles, who scored a team-high 24 points, couldn’t get in a position to take the shot and was forced to pass it off. When the buzzer sounded, it the Thunderbolts (8-4, 2-1) lost despite holding a big lead in the second half.
“(We committed) mental mistakes and we didn’t take care of the ball at the end of the game,” Manual coach Omar Henry said. “We’ll see them again. We know that’s the team we have to beat for the Metro League championship.”
It seemed like the Thunderbolts were going to take control earlier and maintain it for the full stretch of the game. They took a five-point lead into halftime and the Sun Devils were unable to contain Bowles.
They were in it at that point mostly because of Coby Gold, who scored 13 of his game-high 25 in the first two quarters.
Manual really seized control in the third when Bowles scored 10 and Gold was held to just two.
“In the third quarter I was being locked up,” Gold said. “I found a way to get free in the fourth and get our team back in it.”
He couldn’t help but look around after the game and think back to a little less than a year ago. It was a similar situation with Manual holding a big lead and Kent having to fight its way back.
The Thunderdome is home legendary battles between Denver Public School rivals. But lately for Kent, when it leaves the confines, it’s usually with a similar magical feeling.
“This gym, since last year, has always been magical to us,” Gold said. “We keep coming back. We were down I think 19 in this game (last year).”
By the time the Sun Devils had battled all the way back, a mental victory had been all but locked up.
As Kent coach Todd Schayes – confined to the bench after a technical foul – watched his boys scratch and claw, he knew the overall outcome would matter very little compared to what had just been done and what kind of a tone that can set for the rest of the year.
“We were playing with house money,” he said. “If they win at the buzzer, we’ll be excited to be here a month from now for the district tournament. It’s only January 19th.”
No need to wait a month. The Sun Devils left the Thunderdome with the win they were seeking and fought so hard for. And as magical as the gym has been to them recently, they can’t wait to get back.
