First, the Darts shot zero free throws and second, Davis junior guard JT Turley had zero points.

Things changed 18 seconds into the third quarter when Turley drove the lane and was fouled, and stepped to the free-throw line for the first time.

“At halftime, coach told me to get downhill and get to the free-throw line and do what I can do,” Turley said. “The team needs me to get them going. They trust me to make the right play and get it done.”

Davis expanded on a double-digit lead at the half and pounded the Phoenix 65-46 in a Region 1 home win.

The Darts shot 60% in the first quarter but Farmington hit 58% and hung in there as the score was tied at 18 after one.

“They gave their best shot and we took their punches. We knew we could outlast them by running the ball and playing at a fast pace and get them tired; they started missing shots,” Turley said.

In the second quarter, Davis (14-3, 3-1 Region 1) again was hot from the field, but ramped up the defense, holding Farmington (5-11, 1-3) to 2 of 10 from the floor.

“We prioritize defense; when we get stops on the defensive end, it leads to points on offense,” Turley said. “It made it easy to play offense with the ball moving and everyone making the right play with the shots falling tonight.”

Davis led 36-24 at the break.

Turley was aggressive and went to the charity stripe eight times in the third quarter, making six, and had nine points in the period. He finished with 13 points for the game.

“Coleman (Atwater) was hot in the first half and I was his right-hand man in the second half when I stepped up,” Turley said.

Atwater led the Darts with 27 points, scoring eight in each of the first, second and fourth quarters. He now has more than 1,000 points in his career at Davis.

“It’s really special. I’ve had a great opportunity to play varsity for three years with this amazing team, this amazing program,” Atwater said. “It’s not easy to get 1,000 points, but it’s a tribute to having teammates who are well-rounded and how good they are at sharing the ball. I put in the work, practicing and believing and being comfortable to shoot when I should, and pass when I need to. They were going in tonight.”
