High school boys basketball: Davis sophomore Jesse Wade rises to the challenge vs. Weber

Davis turned to its senior marksman: Porter. The 6-foot-2 gunner drilled consecutive treys and Wade followed with another from distance to extend the lead back to double figures and ultimately out of reach.

“You got to be able to make baskets and we got guys who can make baskets,” Welk said. “That’s the expectation — to be good defensively you’ve got to be good offensively also.”

Porter finished with 15 points, 12 of which came from beyond the arc, and Wade tallied a game-high 23 points with two 3-pointers.

Schenck managed 22 points, but it didn’t come easy. After the perfect start, Wade frustrated him into 3-of-12 shooting — with the majority of his points coming at the line in the wining moments.

“Our strategy the whole time was to go under the picks on Schenck to force him to shoot,” Wade, who only committed one foul on one of the best penetrators in the state, said. “He’s a good shooter but he’d rather drive. On the time that I’d go over when I wasn’t supposed to he’d get to the basket and when I’d go under he’d be hesitant to shoot the ball.”
