Newton's season ends with heartbreaker
Hoover edges Cardinals on late basket by Diew
DES MOINES — Although it's normally just a phrase, the Newton girls basketball team literally watched its season tick away Wednesday night.
After a knock-down, drag-out battle with Des Moines Hoover for the game's first 31 minutes, the Huskies decided to hold the ball for a final shot.
And despite being shut down for most of the second half, Hoover's 6-foot-2 senior Nyakat Diew scored the game-winner with 3.4 seconds left on the clock, ending Newton's upset bid and its season.
