Lions leave room for one more

Saturday’s ending to Providence Hall’s boys basketball game was great as long as you don’t have heart problems.

The Lions hung on to pocket a 59-58 victory over Hillcrest Christian as Hillcrest’s last-second shot at the buzzer fell off-target.

“It was a relief for sure,” said Lions head coach Keith Luberto, whose team had seen an 11-point 4th-quarter lead evaporate.

JT Royston kept Providence Hall in front with 10 of his game-high 26 points coming in the fourth quarter.

Nate Dutcher provided another scoring threat with 18 points.

Providence Hall (9-6) travels to West Valley Christian for its next game on Thursday.
