Aurand gave in. It turned out to be a great decision. With three seconds left to play and Simi Valley leading by two, Fullove stripped Davis as he backed into the lane for a potential game-tying basket, then tipped the loose ball to teammate Dustin The name Dustin is a masculine first name. The most widely accepted historical meaning is a version of "valiant fighter". Other variations include "strong warrior" coming from germanic regions, and from English roots as "thor's stone" (or lightning bolt) It may refer to: named after Gaston Michel, a French surgeon (1875-1937).

Michel had 24, including five 3- pointers. Davis harassed the Pioneers with 38 points, although it was the two he didn't get that were remembered most. Throughout the game, Davis hurt Simi Valley with his outside shooting. But on the last possession, he chose to drive to the basket, trying for the tie rather then a game-winning 3-pointer. Fullove shaded Davis from behind, then reached around and knocked the ball loose just as Davis started to spin to the lane. ``He went baseline The horizontal line to which the bottoms of lowercase characters (without descenders) are aligned.

It ended a memorable fourth quarter and provided a fitting finish to a fast-paced, entertaining game. Simi Valley led by 17 points early in the fourth after an 11-0 run. But the quick, athletic Vikings (27-8) came back with an 11-0 run of their own to cut it to 71-65. After Fullove converted a 3-point play on a rebound-putback to make it 79-71, Davis converted consecutive three-point plays to make it 79-77 with 26 seconds left. Michel missed the front end of a one-plus-one to give Garey a chance to tie it or win it. But Fullove made sure the Vikings never got the chance with his timely steal. ``We came out making sure we didn't give up a 3-pointer and we wanted to make all the switches on the screens,'' Aurand said. ``I think if you're in that situation you go with your best shot and take your chances, but fortunately Branduinn got that steal in the corner and put it away.''

In the second quarter alone the teams combined for 58 points, at one point trading four consecutive 3-pointers and hitting seven 3s in nine possessions. Michel had 15 points in the half, connecting on five deep 3-pointers. Fullove had 16 with two 3-pointers. Davis kept the Vikings close with 15 points. Davis added six more in the third, then Fullove asked for the chance to try and slow him down. ``He still hit some shots, but I felt they were a little more contested then before,'' Fullove said. |
