All 13 of our boys played and had good success. We needed to prepare for Thursday's game at home against Prentice. |
Butternut played a very deliberate game, holding the ball on every play until they had exactly the shot they wanted. That limited our possessions to very few. |
Everybody on the team played for about one-half the game. The boys played well together, no matter who was on the floor. |
I wouldn't give them up for nobody. Both of them worked their butts off. They're just good kids. |
In the fourth quarter, it was all about fouls and free throws. |
It was a battle from the start. Mellen pressing full court and Mercer trying to control the tempo. |
There was a lot of hype today at school with the Hurley-Mercer rivalry. It was good to win. |
We led 19-11 before Washburn (9-4) put on a five-point run to get back within three at the end of the first quarter. The tide turned at that point and Washburn could do no wrong. |
We lost big up there, but we beat them by one down here. |
