Spanish Springs 56, Century 47

ELKO, Nev. - The Century boys' basketball team dropped a 56-47 decision to Spanish Springs on Saturday.

The Diamondbacks led 17-16 at the end of the first quarter, but didn't lead again. Coach Cody Shelley attributed that to poor free-throw shooting.

"We shot 11-of-23 from the foul line, and that hurt us," he said. "I thought we played real well throughout the game, and with a few more free throws we could have won."

Century almost did anyway. Behind 13 points from Kiefer Klauser and 12 from Storm Shelley, the Diamondbacks pulled to within four points in the fourth quarter. They just couldn't retake the lead.

With the loss, Century dropped to 3-3. It next plays Highland on Wednesday.
