Corner Canyon forward Hayden Welling was greeted by shouts from his teammates as he turned the corner into the locker room.
It was a suitable response to Welling’s 29-point performance in Corner Canyon’s 65-52 win over Timpanogos in the Class 5A boys’ basketball state semifinal Friday at the Huntsman Center.
Welling tallied four blocks and eight rebounds in addition to leading the team in scoring. He teamed with Gabe Toombs under the basket. It took until the second half for Toombs to put up big numbers, but he finished the game with a double-double — 11 points, 10 rebounds.
