DENVER – The Timnath boys basketball team brought the brooms.
After watching the girls score a big win over Colorado Academy, the boys matched that feat by outlasting Lamar 42-40 in the Class 4A boys basketball Great 8 at the Denver Coliseum.
Trailing by one point entering the fourth quarter, Davis Walter hit a massive 3-pointer to give the Cubs a 40-38 lead with about a minute remaining. They forced a Lamar turnover and Max Roselle hit a wide open layup to put the Cubs up by 4.
Walter led Timnath with 11 points, going 3-for-4 from 3-point range.
Lamar was paced by junior Jacob Dunning who scored a game-high 19.
The Cubs move on to Friday’s Final 4 where they await the winner of Kent Denver and Denver West.
