We made the decision at the beginning of this game that losing was not an option. We simply would not go winless in the tournament. Instead we won a gritty game and took third place in the tournament. In spite of poor shooting, and I mean we could not have shot a basketball into the ocean, we again won with heart and hustle. With only a few seconds remaining, Mason Bent was the hero converting on two free throws to ice the game. He stroked the throws with ice in his veins. Sweet! We lost our focus in the end on the offensive end, but pulled it out by refusing to lose. The victory was not pretty, but then again I have never met an ugly win.
Not many stats in this contest because of the low score and sloppy play. Mason Bent led the team with 13 points and Keaton Hart played a well-rounded game with 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 steals. We did just enough to finish on top.
