ball bench deep fresh guys helped lead stretch turning
We did not play well in the first half, turning the ball over 16 times. So then we went deep into our bench and the bench got us a 10-point lead from their energy. And I think that's what helped us down the stretch that our guys had fresh legs.
defense flat johnson kids lights offense shoot stop
We had to make adjustments on offense and defense at halftime. Those kids from Johnson are good. They can flat shoot the lights out. We had to go to a kind of half-man, half-zone 'D' to try and stop them.
anyone easily few finish games lost picked points
I don't think anyone picked us to finish second. We lost a few games by only one or two points and could have easily had 18-19 wins.
critical mistakes
We were down and we rallied, but we made critical mistakes down the stretch.

We managed to hold onto the basketball and do what we had to do to get the win. It was a big win for our kids. It's nice to have played well and be rewarded for our efforts.
