With 6:23 left in the game, Gonzaga Coach Steve Turner looked up at the scoreboard, saw a two-point lead stretched across it and spun around to face his bench. 

"You two, go!" Turner yelled, and Myles Dread and Terrance Williams sprung up and tiptoed to the scorer's table. With DeMatha closing and its home crowd growing louder with each made basket in a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference showdown, Turner turned to Dread and Williams to finish off No. 2 Gonzaga's eventual 71-62 win in Hyattsville on Thursday night. Dread, who scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half, canned a three-pointer on the next possession. Williams, a 6-foot-7 sophomore who finished with a game-high 22 points, later iced the game with four straight free throws.
