Huge DLS fan celebration, can’t blame ‘em…

Ricketts player of the game.

Wow! Thanks for updates

 

[observer22]

3 great games in Session 2 tonight. I still don’t know how MC pulled it out, but Davis took it upon himself to make sure they did.
SJ coach with a huge blunder, calling timeout with 2.9 seconds left just as his player was throwing up what would have been the game winner that went in. Final inbound play put 2 players in the corner and no space to get a shot off. Great win for MC!
I was really impressed by both Epperson of Jesuit and Rickets of DLS tonight as they wore the nets out. I don’t think either one of them even grazed the rim on all of their 3 pointers.
Great to talk to you again Kiddman on another great MLK day of hoops. Thanks for all your reporting.

DLS win over West Linn stands out, Jesuit continuing to win without Dre, MC winning the game of the night…
