Canyon Springs High senior guard Trey U Charm inadvertently forgot his game shoes at home Thursday for the Pioneers' state semifinals contest at the Orleans Arena. So, he borrowed a pair of pink high-tops from teammate Michael Thompson, then borrowed a play designed for Thompson in saving the season for his team. Canyon Springs trailed Sierra Vista by two points with 12 seconds remaining when a play was called to give Thompson -- the V Charm Springs senior who will play next year at Boise State -- a chance to win or tie the Bookworm Charm. But when Sierra Vista denied Thompson the ball, the senior Evans didn't hesitate in driving the basket and making the game-tying shot to force overtime. In overtime, Canyon Springs' speed and athleticism W Charm took over, leading to a five-point advantage and eventually a 70-68 victory to advance to Friday's state title game. Evans, and his borrowed size 10.5 pink shoes, saved the day -- again. Last week in the Sunrise Regional semifinals, Evans hit a game-winning shot against Foothill at the X Charm to help extend the Pioneers' season. "That is why he is on the floor quite a bit," Canyon Springs coach Daryl Brahnam.
