I thought Villa Park seemed familiar.. I saw them at the St Francis tournament... Guess they didn't leave much of an impression.

Anyway, this game has been terrific this far. 19-13 mission after 1

 

[coach41]

Mission playing their game, up 19-13 after 1st quarter.

 

[Lincoln240]

No Fear in Mission! This should be close. Unless Mission can create a gap.

 

[coach41]

Villa Park is hitting tough shots....but otherwise their offense involves a lot of standing around.....Mission should not overplay too much and just stay in front of their drives....make Villa Park hit the tough jumpers.

 

[Streak One]

Mission leads Villa Park 28-27 with 201 left in Q2. Harris has 12 points, including two made 3s

The TV announcers are having a horrid night trying to put the Mission situation in context. And that's all of the TV people. Really poor. The verbal boners are something else.

 

[Streak One]

Villa Park was down by eight in the second quarter but takes a 31-29 lead into halftime

 

[kiddman32]

31-29 Villa after a rather frantic half.... Fun to watch!

 

[slick58]

Good game so far.

 

[slick58]

No foul on that drive to the basket?

 

[slick58]

One official is calling it real tight on Mission.

 

[Streak One]

Mission leads 41-38 with 358 left Q3. The more chaotic the pace, the better for Mission

 

[kiddman32]

Looks like this one's gonna be a tight one to the end.

 

[Bob33]

Really impressed with mission. So fast.
They need to keep pressuring and forcing turnovers. VP can't stay with thEm. Franklin is going to have to beat them for VP.

 

[Bob33]

Def a winnable game for mission. This is a team they can beat. Can't let that shooter alone and try to deny Franklin the ball.

 

[kiddman32]

Mission down by 1 end of 3. Cinderella gonna make it to the ball?

Unbelievable effort. Its like Rocky IV and the underdog Mission has won over the crowd

 

[MC415]

Can Mission keep them off the offensive glass is my concern

1 Franklin gone. Missions speed and defensive tenacity is impressive.

 

[kiddman32]

Franklin just fouled out after a Harris steal. Mission, can you taste it?

This is amazing! What a team!?!? Congrats Mission for doing it for The City!!! Villa Park sorely missed their 25 year old 6'6 senior.

 

[Bob33]

[MC415]

[iamgearyblvd]

Looks like Mission is getting tight under the collar here.

Harris needs the handle the ball this last minute.

 

[MC415]

Someone make a free throw

 

[iamgearyblvd]

Mission logos seem to have identity crisis. Its the Cal Bears "bear" but with the Michigan Wolverine "M"
