Bill Schonely coined or popularized numerous phrases and sayings during his radio career with the Trail Blazers, including "You've got to make your free throws." Sunset didn't, falling 62-56 to fifth-ranked South Eugene in a Class 6A boys basketball quarterfinal matchup at the Rose Garden Thursday night. South Eugene (20-7) used a 10-0 run at the end of the first half to take a 30-20 lead into halftime. Sunset (16-11) made only 9 of 18 free throws in the game.
Senior guard Anthony Holton led the Apollos with 16 points, but 6-foot-9 sophomore center Landen Lucas was named Qwest Player of the Game for Sunset with 15 points, 14 rebounds, and seven blocks.
Sunset is a young team, with 5 of 7 players who receive significant minutes being underclassmen. The experience of playing at the Rose Garden should be valuable for next year's team. Following quote is from Amanda Miles of The Oregonian: "Those guys, we want 'em to get used to coming down here," Sunset coach Todd Sherwood said of his youngsters. "We don't want 'em getting used to the feeling tonight, but we want to get 'em used to the experience of being in the elite eight."
