A couple big performances, including a one in the clutch, from Cade Roth helped Silverton High School’s boys basketball team become giant killers.
The 6-4 junior guard scored 25 points in Tuesday’s 74-57 win against eventual Mid-Willamette Conference champion Crescent Valley and he scored another 25 points in Friday’s 61-60 win against Mid-Willamette No. 2 Corvallis.
With 11 seconds left in Friday’s win, Roth made 3 of 4 free throws after two Corvallis technical fouls, to give Silverton its second upset in as many games.
Silverton (7-7 Mid-Willamette, 11-13 overall) advanced to play at Marist at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the 5A play-in round.
