San Diego High School Basketball : Bahr 17-Footer Wins It for San Dieguito

Chris Bahr hit a 17-footer from the baseline with eight seconds to play to give San Dieguito High School a 26-25 victory over Vista Wednesday night in a Palomar League game.

Both teams slowed the tempo of play from the opening period.

San Dieguito (5-1, 11-6) held Vista (2-4, 7-10) to two points in the third period, and that basket came at the buzzer. Vista was 10 for 34 from the field.

Bahr scored a game-high 9 points and Jack Minger added 8 for San Dieguito. Mike Fleming and Mike Simmons each scored 6 for Vista.

Orange Glen 67, Poway 45--Steve Klinger scored 19 of his game-high 22 points in the second half to lead host Orange Glen. Dan Early added 14 for Orange Glen (1-5, 5-14). Poway (1-5, 9-9), the three-time defending 3-A San Diego Section champion, is tied for last in the league with Orange Glen.
