BURLEY - Pocatello held Burley to just three free throws in the fourth quarter for a come-from-behind, 57-50 win at Burley on Friday.

The Bobcats outscored the Indians 21-11 in the third quarter to take a 47-44 lead entering the final period. The Indians scored several quick baskets early in the quarter to take the lead, and the Bobcats never recovered.

"We probably had a little bit more composure than Burley did, and we were able to finish it off in the fourth quarter," Pocatello coach Lee Ralphs said.

Ryan Pearson scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, while Michael Decker scored the Indians' remaining five in the period. Decker ended up with 11 points, while Colter Morton and Zac Korrell also finished in double figures.

Pocatello (1-1) next travels to play Wood River on Wednesday.
