EASTMONT -- One element Hanford has been lacking so far through four nonleague games has been clutch shooting.
Brennan Sutey, a 6-foot-1 junior guard, gave a textbook example of it in the Falcons' CBBN 3A opener, hitting a
3-pointer with three seconds remaining in overtime to lift Hanford to a 55-52 win over Eastmont.
"(Eastmont) tied it up with 18 seconds left. We were going to go for one shot," said Falcons coach Paul Mayer. "Brennan came off a cut and ended up standing wide open. He swished it."
