SECTION INSIDE: Littleton boys reach final 4, B2 SPORTS B www.courier-littletonnh.com LITTLETON, N.H., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 2013 SECTION B PAGE 1 Lisbon defeats Profile to reach final four

By CHARLIE LENTZ [email protected] BETHLEHEM — Cooper Bryer does the dirty work for Lisbon. Cleaning up the backboards. Clearing a path for Lisbon’s shooters with a well-placed shoulder. “He has no problem doing nothing but setting screens and rebounding and playing defense,” said Lisbon coach Sam Natti. “He’s never going to be in the spotlight.” After last Friday night’s Division IV Tournament quarterfinal at Profile School, the coach admitted he was dead wrong about Bryer and that spotlight. “He got his chance and he made the most of it,” Natti said. After Lisbon rallied to take a three-point lead Bryer was fouled and sent to the free throw line with 20 seconds remaining and the Panthers in the one-and-one bonus. A miss by Bryer and Profile would have a shot at a game- tying three-pointer. Pressure? “You take the crowd. You take the fact that it’s Lisbon- Profile. You take the fact that it’s a quarterfinal playoff game,” said coach Natti. “There were bound to be nerves. Everybody knew every basket was going to be huge.” Bryer stepped to the line for the biggest one-and-one of his career. He sealed the win by sinking both ends of the bonus and Lisbon went on to a 36-30 victory over Profile.
