IDAHO FALLS - Both the Pocatello and Idaho Falls boys' basketball teams made clutch shots in their respective season openers on Wednesday.
Unfortunately for the Indians, the Tigers' came at the end of overtime to give them a 52-50 win.
Pocatello's Michael Decker hit a 3-pointer with 30 second left to force the extra frame, but Idaho Falls recovered and hit a basket with 3 seconds left to win the game.
"For a first game, I'm not too disappointed," said Pocatello coach Lee Ralphs. "We would've liked to have won that one, and we had our chances. For our first game, we played too fast, and it caused us to do silly things."
Decker led the way for the Indians with 22 points, and Shae Andrews scored 12.
Pocatello (0-1) will at Burley on Friday.
