Perry trailed Liberty by a point at halftime, but Koa Peat took over the third quarter and got help from Ben Egbo in an Open quarterfinal win.
It took a half before No. 1 Gilbert Perry reasserted itself behind the two-man game of Cody Williams and Koa Peat.
Perry won't have to get on a bus next Friday when the Open Division boys basketball state semifinals take place after a 79-60 victory.No. 13-seed Scottsdale Desert Mountain, the only 5A school left, behind the freshman House brothers , dominated No. 5 Glendale Ironwood from the opening tip and rolled to an 81-61 rout to pit a 1 versus 13 in the semifinals in the first year of the Arizona Interscholastic Association's 32-team Open Division tournament.
Here are three takeaways from Perry's dominant second half that showed why it's going to take the most brilliant effort of an incredibler freshman season for Kaden House to pull of the upset of the season in the semis:After Ky Green converted a three-point play late in the first half, Liberty took a 34-33 lead into the locker room. But if it's not 6-foot-8 Williams, it's 6-8 Peat who is so tough to stop. And when Peat misses, he's right there to follow in his shots.
"My teammates recognized how they were guarding them," Egbo said."They told me to knock down shots. They trusted me."What is great about Peat and Williams is that as greatly skilled both are, they never force the action. They trust all of their teammates, giving up the ball to someone open. But when they know they need to take over, they do so in such a seamless way that it looks so easy how they're able to dissect defenses.
