For 38 minutes, Galena was cruising to another victory.

But when Reno started knocking down shots and playing good defense, the Huskies quickly made it a game.

The Grizzlies held on though, aided by Dillon Voyles hitting 3-of-4 free throws in the final 33 seconds to give Galena a 51-48 win in Northern 4A boys basketball Tuesday at Galena.

Voyles finished with 18 points while Sky Watson and Moses Wood each had 10.

Galena led by 14 points, 48-34, with 3 minutes, 42 seconds left to play.

Galena coach Brian Voyles said losing to Reno last season kept the Grizzlies from hosting a playoff game. So the team was determined to not let that happen again.

“You’ve got to win these games,” Voyles said. “Reno’s going to be tough on the other side (High Desert League). We’ve got to play better.”

Reno coach Matt Ochs said he told his team it needs to play the way it did the last 2 minutes for the entire game.

But he was happy to hold the Grizzlies to 51 points.

“We missed some rotations, so we’ll watch some film,” he said. “We were harping on them that they need to bring a better mental approach and focus, which is partially my fault. And execution-wise, we need to be more sharp.”

Tommy Challis led the Huskies with 18 points, after being held to six in the first half.
