MONTPELIER - Bailey Thomas drained an 8-foot jumper as time expired to give Bear Lake a 52-51 home win over Snake River on Friday.

The Bears led for most of the second half but trailed 51-50 when it got the ball back at halfcourt with 3 seconds remaining. Spencer Smedley got the inbounds pass and dished it off to an open Thomas for the game-winner.

"It was an up-and-down game for both sides," Bear Lake coach Brandon Carlsen said. "We just happened to come out on top."

Jordan Crane led the Bears with 16 points, while Thomas and Smedley finished with 12 and 10, respectively. Jordan Watt led Snake River with 20 points.

Bear Lake (10-9, 2-3) next travels to play American Falls on Friday.
