There were 40 minutes of basketball Saturday afternoon at Hilo Civic that University of Hawaii at Hilo junior Parker Farris would like to forget.
Correction. There were 39 minutes and 59 seconds Farris would like to erase from the memory banks. The last second is one he and his Vulcan teammates will savor a little bit.
The team’s leading scorer, Farris was held without a field goal for all but the final second when he opened himself about 15 feet from the basket on the right baseline, collected a pass in traffic, went up under pressure and slipped through the winning basket in a 66-64 Pacific West Conference win over Hawaii Pacific, which came in riding an eight-game win streak that went down the drain with the last shot.
