Gridley Day 2!

[kiddman32]

First game of the day, Consoaltion Bracket: Dublin faces Salesian. My guess is neither team feels they played well yesterday and both would love to erase the bad memories.

From up here, I’d say Salesian was especially far off their game. Dublin may have just run into a Sacto buzzsaw….

Getting ready to go with my Cliff’s Notes-style account…

 

[kiddman32]

Dublin opens thr scoring with.a corner 3 by Clarke-Tarver…. 3-0.

Corner 3 by Alvin LOving ties it up.

Costello scores…. 5-3.

[kiddman32]

Dublin’s Anderson fouled again, this time he makes a pair of FT’s. 9-8 Dublin, 3:46 to go 1st.

Trade of buckets…. 11-10. One os those was a Salesian jam, missed who it was.

Johnson at the line for the Pride…In the bonus, FT’s split. 21-13. Steal, pass to Harris for a layup…. 23-13. ANOTHER steal, Drive to the hole, missed but fouled. 30.6 left in the quarter. Dublin now with a chance for last shot…. Nope, Salesian rebound and an ill-advised backcourt foul…. but front end miss. 25-13 Salesian after 1.

 

[kiddman32]
