“I don’t know how I get into that mode — it just happens,” Bey said of his second half. “Once I learn to start like that, it’ll be a problem.”
After his slow start, the 6-foot-6inch Bey helped Gorman dig out of a 42-27 deficit in the third quarter and made the play of the game out of a timeout with 13.5 seconds.
Mcclendon inbounded the ball to fellow freshman Zaon Collins, who dished to Bey at the top of the key. Bey quickly jabbed right, blew by defender Duane Washington Jr. to the left and finished a layup through contact over Kenyon Martin Jr. for the go-ahead score.
Martin missed the potential game-winning 3-pointer from halfcourt as the buzzer sounded.
“Did we really win that game?” Gorman coach Grant Rice asked his statisticians at the scorer’s table.
Noah Taitz scored 22 points, and Isaiah Cottrell had eight points and six rebounds for the Gaels.
Martin Jr. led Sierra Canyon (12-3) with 26 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
