won the fourth-longest boys basketball game in Utah history on Friday night when it outlasted
Lehi (Utah) 109-107 in a four-overtime barnburner.
The two teams combined to shoot 99 free throws in the foul-infested contest, which saw five of the winning Vikings' top eight players foul out.
Matt Conway was high with 30 points.
Riley Court scored 27 points and
Forrest Pincock 21 before they fouled out.
Seldom-used reserve
Mitch Brown also figured prominently in the victory by drilling a 24-foot 3-pointer with seven seconds left in the third overtime to extend the game to its final extra session.
Blake Cleveringa, a 6-foot-4, 170-pound senior, was a one-man gang for Lehi. His 54-point explosion enabled him to become one of just six Utah players to reach or exceed 50 points in a single game.
Pleasant Grove coach Randy McAllister told the Salt Lake Tribune, "Clevenger was just a machine. We just knew it was going to go through him."
