SJS D4 Boys….

[kiddman32]

We have Natomas and Casa Roble, who have split their two meetings.

 

[kiddman32]

Casa Roble is #20 in the section, Natomas #15.

 

[kiddman32]

As a matter of fact…. The last loss for Casa Roble was quite a while ago, to Natomas. And they’ve beaten them since.

 

[kiddman32]

12-6 Natomas early on…. They are reaalllllyyyy quick, and their fullcourt pressure looks like it’ll be an issue. Just had a double foul…. intentional foul one way, a tech the other…. After all the FT’s, it’s 13-7.

 

[kiddman32]

Didn’t see what happened. too busy typing.

 

[kiddman32]

But it’s obvious these teams don’t like each other very much…

 

[kiddman32]

Looked like a quick knockout was about to happen, but Casa made a pair of 3’s to keep it close…. 26-20. 5:10 in the half.

 

[kiddman32]

Now 29-21 after a long 3 by Natomas…. 4:31 in the half.

 

[kiddman32]

30-26, 1:42 left in the half…. Quite a wild ball game!

 

[kiddman32]

34-30 at the half…. Fullcourt try by Natomas at the buzzer caught iron, bounced away.

 

[kiddman32]

Quite an impressive halftime show being put on by the Natomas drumline and dancers…. Similar to what Grant has been doing forever…

 

[kiddman32]

Casa closes the gap…. 39-38 Natomas. Now 40. Under 4 in the q…

 

[kiddman32]

TIED at 40!! but Natomas on a putback…. 42-40, but Ambriz of Casa ties it up again! 2:22 left 3rd…

 

[kiddman32]

Casa 3 from Pearcy! 45-42…

 

[kiddman32]
