area defense difference felt game good job quarter second shoot taking team win
The second quarter had to be the difference in this game because other than that it was pretty even. Wyoming Area is a good team that could shoot the ball. I think they felt they had to win the game at the arc, but our defense usually does a good job of taking that away.
