We watched their district consolation game quite a bit and I don&#8217;t know the point total, but he might have had 40. He scores at a really high rate, so the game plan was to keep him in front of us and we didn&#8217;t do a great job of that. We&#8217;ve got to do a better job of executing the game plan and making kids work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frye scored exactly half of West Greene&#8217;s points, but for every run by the Buffaloes, Gatlinburg-Pittman seemed to have an answer.

Photo by Brian Hamilton<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s huge, because any time you win an elimination game, regardless of who your opponent is, it&#8217;s major,&#8221; Moore said. &#8220;They wouldn&#8217;t have made it to this point if they weren&#8217;t good enough to beat us, so we respected them as a program. We know about (Frye) and (Turner) and they came up huge and competed. I&#8217;m proud of our guys that we were able to lead from start to finish and close on a good note.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gatlinburg-Pittman led 11-6 early in the first quarter when West Greene&#8217;s Frye hit a jumper to make the score 11-8. The Highlanders would rattle off six straight points from that juncture, however, fueled by a long jumper by Carlos Orr, extending the lead to 17-8 with 2:44 left in the opening period.<\/p>\n<p>A three-pointer by Orr would stretch the Gatlinburg-Pittman lead to 22-10 with just over one minute left in the first quarter, but a triple by Conner Campbell would make the score 22-13 with eight seconds left in the first. The Highlanders would take a nine-point lead into the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Orr had a strong first quarter for GP, finishing with 10 points.<\/p>\n<p>Wade Whaley hit a three to open the second quarter, as Gatlinburg-Pittman led 25-13. Whaley would hit another three soon after &#8212; this time calling glass &#8212; to put the Highlanders ahead 32-19 with 4:16 left in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>Ty Glasper, who played sparingly in the contest, came into the game midway through the second quarter and immediately scored two baskets to give the Highlanders a 38-21 lead.<\/p>\n<p>West Greene&#8217;s Ethan Turner scored a basket and was fouled, but missed the foul shot, trimming the Buffaloes&#8217; deficit to 40-23 with just over two minutes left in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Wade Whaley made a nice pump fake and went to the hoop for a layup to put Gatlinburg-Pittman ahead 44-26 with just under a minute remaining. On the next Highlander possession, Jackson DeSear knocked down a three to give GP a 47-28 lead with 21 seconds until halftime.<\/p>\n<p>Mason McCamey hit a layup for West Greene with five seconds left in the half, sending the Buffaloes to the locker room trailing 47-30 at the break.<\/p>\n<p>Frye opened the second half with a jumper to cut the West Greene deficit to 47-32. A Glasper layup would put Gatlinburg-Pittman ahead 49-33, but the Buffaloes would go on a 5-0 run, capped by a Frye three-pointer, forcing Moore to call a timeout, as the Highlanders clung to a 49-38 lead with 5:10 left in the third.<\/p>\n<p>Wade Whaley would end the drought with a layup to put the Highlanders ahead 51-38 with 3:49 left in the quarter, but McCamey answered with a layup to pull West Greene to within 51-40. Gatlinburg-Pittman would go on a 6-0 run, however, to put the Highlanders in front 57-40 with 1:32 left in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Whaley made big play, after big play, down the stretch, as the sophomore hit a putback and was fouled, converting the three-point play for a 60-42 Gatlinburg-Pittman lead. Glasper then corralled his own rebound and stuck it in to make the score 62-42 with 33 seconds left in the third.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3507\" style=\"width: 414px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3507\" class=\" wp-image-3507\" src=\"http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587.jpg\" alt=\"Ty Glasper\" width=\"404\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587.jpg 960w, http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587-96x128.jpg 96w, http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587-24x32.jpg 24w, http:\/\/smokymtnsports.com\/mensbasketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2023\/08\/thumbnail_IMG_0587-100x133.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ty Glasper (10) goes up for a floater over West Greene&#8217;s Evan Dearinger (21) during the Highlanders&#8217; 86-66 win over the Buffaloes.

Frye scored on consecutive layups to cut the Highlander lead to 74-65, but was whistled for a technical foul after screaming at the referee regarding an and-one call.<\/p>\n<p>A pair of free throws by Whitman Whaley and a putback by Wade Whaley would stretch the lead to 79-57 with 1:46 left. Frye scored another basket with just over one minute remaining to cut the GP lead to 79-61 when West Greene was whistled with another technical foul. This time, it was a student on the bench in street clothes whistled for the technical.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan Reagan went to the line and sank both technical free throws and then calmly drained a three from the top of the arch, giving Gatlinburg-Pittman an 84-61 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Frye hit a three for West Greene with 45 seconds remaining to cut the Highlanders&#8217; deficit to 84-64. Gatlinburg-Pittman had all but wrapped up the game, but in a rather odd sequence of events, Frye decided to intentionally foul Jackson DeSear with five seconds left, sending the senior to the foul line.<\/p>\n<p>DeSear sank both free throws to give Gatlinburg-Pittman an 86-66 win and a berth in the regional semifinal at Davy Crockett on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>West Greene&#8217;s Leyton Frye finished with a game-high 33 points, while Glasper led Gatlinburg-Pittman with 23 points. Carlos Orr finished with 19, while Wade Whaley added 15.<\/p>\n<p>Whaley has stepped up during the postseason and is becoming a viable scoring option for the Highlanders. The sophomore forward had a career-high 21 points against Pigeon Forge in the district semifinal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wade is just an energy guy,&#8221; Moore said of Whaley&#8217;s recent emergence. &#8220;We knew that his skills would progress and he&#8217;d get better as time went on, as far as shooting and ball handling, but he&#8217;s just always been an energy guy and he&#8217;s a long athlete. We knew that he would have a good career. He&#8217;s a kid who comes in every day before school and shoots, even when it&#8217;s not mandatory. That&#8217;s paying off for him. His work ethic is unbelievable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gatlinburg-Pittman (20-8) will face South Greene on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Davy Crockett. The Rebels (21-10) are coming off an 82-55 win over Pigeon Forge in the region quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p>West Greene&#8217;s season ends with a record of 15-20.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY BRIAN HAMILTON GATLINBURG &#8211; The Highlanders withstood a scoring barrage by West Greene&#8217;s Leyton Frye, who finished with 33, to outlast and outscore the Buffaloes 86-66 and earn a berth in the regional semifinals next Tuesday. &#8220;We played them last year and he did the same thing last year,&#8221; Gatlinburg-Pittman head coach Rashid Moore said of Frye. &#8220;He had probably 25 or 30 last year against us.
