Trailing by one point at 27-26 heading into the fourth quarter Tuesday night inside The Nest at Grand Valley High School, Cardinals senior guard Shaya Chenoweth busted out in a big way for Grand Valley, pouring in 13 of 16 Cardinal points in the final quarter of play, helping the No. 7 Cardinals avoid an upset at the hands of the Rifle Bears, with a 42-38 win in nonleague action. <\/p>\n

Chenoweth hit five baskets in the fourth quarter, and went 3-for-4 from the free throw line to rally the Cardinals in the final eight minutes of action.<\/p>\n

“”I thought the game plan was good,” said Eric Caro, Rifle’s head coach. “We tried to take away their strengths and had the lead after three quarters, but Grand Valley pulled it out in the end.”<\/p>\n

Prior to the fourth quarter, Rifle played strong defense against the fast-paced Cardinals, and converted on the offensive end as senior forward Masi Smith led the way for the Bears with 10 points prior to the fourth quarter of play. <\/p>\n

The two teams were tied at 19-19 at the half as senior guard Danielle Doll hit two 3-pointers for the Bears, while sophomore guard Tabitha Call hit a 3-pointer and two baskets in transition for the Cardinals before the break.<\/p>\n

Coming out of halftime, Rifle outscored Grand Valley by one point in the third quarter to take the 27-26 lead, as Smith hit a 3-pointer and a basket for the Bears, while junior guard Jordyn Pittman hit three buckets for the Cardinals, setting up the pivotal fourth quarter of play. <\/p>\n

As Chenoweth became the go-to player for the Cardinals, Smith and April Quinones tried to will the Bears to keep pace, hitting a combined 7-of-8 free throws. Chenoweth just became too much down the stretch for the Cardinals, though, helping Grand Valley escape the upset bid with a four-point win. <\/p>\n

For the Cardinals (8-1, 0-0 3A Western Slope League), Chenoweth led the way with 18 points, while Pittman and Call added 11 and eight points, respectively.<\/p>\n

For Rifle (1-9, 1-1 4A Western Slope League), Smith led the way with 15 points, while Quinones added eight point and Doll added six points for the Bears.<\/p>\n
