NEOSHO, Mo. -- Bentonville West coach Greg White was concerned about his team's stamina coming off Thursday's double-overtime win in the 65th annual Neosho (Mo.) Holiday Classic.

The Wolverines put their coach's fears to rest, draining 10 of 19 3-pointers, and downed Joplin, Mo., 64-57 to reach tonight's Gold Bracket finals.

West (5-4) will take on West Memphis, which defeated Morrilton in the other gold semifinal, at 6:30 tonight.

White couldn't have been prouder of how his team responded any time Joplin, which never led in the game, mounted a challenge.

"We got great minutes from everybody," White said. "This group, there's something special about them. I've been telling people that. They play hard for each other, not for me, not for our school, they play hard for each other.

"They've answered the bell every time we've rang it for them. They've come out every round and I'm really, really proud of them. It's the biggest thing for our program in four years. West Memphis is well-coached, got great players, but we're starting to put our school on the map right now so we're excited."

Riley Buccino, a 6-foot-2 senior, registered a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds to key the Wolverines' victory. Senior Dillon Bailey also scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half as West held off any Eagles' charges.

White led the 3-point barrage, making 4-of 6, while Buccino also hit 3-of-3.

Isaiah Davis, a 6-1 senior who was named the Missouri football Gatorade Player of the Year, pulled Joplin within 43-40 with a three-point play early in the fourth quarter.

But West responded with an 11-3 spurt, and the Eagles never got closer than the final score.

Bailey and Buccino drained back-to-back 3-pointers to push the Wolverines' lead to 49-40. After Joplin hit a free throw, Bailey scored off the drive for a 51-41 advantage with 5 minutes, 16 seconds left.

Davis led Joplin with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Always Wright chipped in 14.
