DP basketball outlasts Olympia in third thriller against the Titans

Dr. Phillips scored just three baskets in the fourth quarter on Tuesday night. But in a game where every point was precious that was enough to give the Panthers a 47-45 victory over arch-rival Olympia in boys basketball region semifinal game on Tuesday night.

It was DP’s third victory in as many games against the Titans and all three could have gone either way.

Riley Kugel, a junior guard, made a 3-point shot to give the Panthers a 42-41 lead early in the final quarter and then notched his team’s final points with a basket with 1:50 remaining and a free throw with just half a second to go in the game.
