DENVER – Two things needed to happen in the second half for Timnath to make the early wake up call worth it. The Cubs had to limit Colorado Academy’s scoring chances and they needed to hit their open shots.
Check and check.
The Cubs outscored Colorado Academy 25-6 in the final two quarter to get a 43-28 win in the Class 4A girls basketball Great 8.
Timnath moves into the Final 4 where they’ll meet the winner of D’Evelyn and Kent Denver.
Tiana Guzman scored a game-high 15 points and went 5-for-9 from 3-point range in the game.
“I struggled in the first half and had to mentally regroup,” Guzman said. “I came back out and after I hit that first one, I was just feeling it. It was so much fun.”
Sam Clevenger led the Mustangs with 12 points, but pulled down a staggering 19 rebounds. But the size advantage didn’t phase the Cubs as they reach the Final 4 for the second season in a row.
