Score
TIGERS: 78
GLENDALE HIGH SCHOOL: 69

Junior guard Joe Johnson shot above the clouds in the fourth quarter Friday night and senior reserve Jon Moore scored his biggest basket of the season with a half minute remaining to ensure the Tigers of a 78-69 Ozark Conference win over Glendale on Courtwarming night.  

WHS held a nine-point lead entering the fourth quarter, but Glendale went on a seven-oh run midway to close within 59-58 enroute to the wild finish.  Johnson drained three of his six treys in the final eight minutes to stave off the Falcons, but it was Moore with the huge play to make it a two-possession game inside of thirty-seconds.  Moore received plenty of court time as starter Cedric Williams found himself in a lot of foul trouble on the night before picking up his fifth.  Glendale called a time out with 38.6 seconds remaining and the Tigers up 72-69.  As the clock ran down, Juwan Morgan collected an offensive rebound off a missed field goal attempt and made a quick shovel pass to Moore who was on the right of the basket.  Moore powered his way for the quick layup and drew a foul.  The excitement on his face was worth the price of admission.  He then calmly sank the free throw to put the game out of Glendale's reach.  

Johnson finished with a team-high 23 points.  Morgan had 18; and the Tigers received double figures also from Reggie Walker, with 12, and Rashad Swanson, with 11.  Moore finished the night with 8 coming off the bench.   The Tigers moved to 3-0 in the Ozark Conference and knocked the Falcons out of a share of first place.
