Rogers High 57, Springdale Har-Ber 44

he Mounties held Har-Ber to just one fourth-quarter field goal and pulled away late to earn the 6A-West Conference win on Tuesday night at King Arena. Rogers (14-4, 4-2 6A-West) struggled at the free-throw line but made 8 of 14 in the fourth quarter which was enough to keep the Wildcats at arm's length. The Mounties, which led 45-39 after three quarters, finished only 19 of 38 for the game. A 3-pointer with 1 minute, 59 seconds left pulled Har-Ber (7-9, 3-3) within 50-44, but the Wildcats didn't score again. Rogers High coach Lamont Frazier challenged his team at halftime, and the Mounties responded. But he also said the free-throw shooting must improve. "I didn't think we played very tough in the first half," Frazier said. "I thought we were real passive defensively. I thought in the second half, we got better. "We were only 19 of 38 from the free-throw line, and that's got to improve. I'm convinced that we're not even close to being where we need to be at this point. A prime example is just the concentration at the free-throw line." Will Voigt and Elliot Paschal led a balanced Rogers scoring attack with 13 points each, while Van Rhame added 12. Nick Buchanan led all scorers with 18 points but picked up his fourth foul after his 3-pointer pulled Har-Ber within 40-39 with 1:59 left in the third quarter. Lawson Jenkins added 12.
