Modesto Christian tourney, Day 2

Bullard has missed 4 straight FT’s, not helping their cause…. 1:37 left now, same score.

They have Bullard “sped up” at the moment, not easy to do when a team plays as fast as they do…

But Bullard makes it 20-12, 33 seconds left 1st.

And a corner 3… a steal, and a buzzer-beater layup falls…. Suddenly it’s 20-17. MH.

It’s always good to know who you’re sitting next to, before any comments are uttered. Plus I like to openly root for the kid if I’m near a mom or dad of a player.
