St. Pats at SJND - nonleague game with Playoff implications

[kiddman32]

Currently #1 in the MaxPreps D4 rankings for the NCS, SPSV comes down the 80 corridor for a shot at #4 St. Joe’s. In addition to all that stuff, I’m pretty sure they’d love to knock off the Pilots after suffering three losses to them last season.

 

[kiddman32]

The Pilots ran undefeated through their soft league season, but are only 4-9 otherwise in a man-sized non-league slate.

 

[kiddman32]

The Bruins went 5-3 in the always tough TCAL-Rock league, and 11-5 otherwise.

 

[kiddman32]

As anyone who reads my posts knows, I bleed Blue and Orange, but if I was forced to make a line on this game, I’d be forced to make St Pats a 5-or6-pt fave.

 

[kiddman32]

Despite my “expert” analysis... Pilots lead 21-10 with less than 2 minutes left in the 1st.

 

[kiddman32]

Amazing... 26-12 PILOTS after 8 minutes...

 

[kiddman32]

Bruins’ trapping D causing problems... 33-19 3 minutes into the 2nd

 

[kiddman32]

33-25 with 2:57 left... A Tale Of Two Quarters.

Winner of this #1 seed in NCS?

 

[kiddman32]

A couple quick runout layups right after my last post, followed by a pair of Pilot corner 3-balls, and the half ends at 45-27, Pilots in front.

 

[kiddman32]

Kobe Kiener (#3) leads the Pilots with 17. Five threes and a two.

 

[kiddman32]

Akil Edwards leads the Bruins with 9, and Dishon Jackson has 7.

 

[kiddman32]

Bruins make a bit of a run... 48-35 with 4:19 left in 3rd.

 

[kiddman32]

51-41 end of 3... Kiener sank 2 more 3’s that quarter for 7... Wonder what the Pilots record is... I remember watching JKidd get 7 atSt Liz...

 

[kiddman32]

Jackson just swatted one... Dude looks bigger every time I see him

 

[kiddman32]

Jackson sinks one from the elbow to make it 53-47 with 5:04 left.... Getting tight...

 

[kiddman32]

3’s exchanged... 56-50, 3:30 left

 

[kiddman32]

Two quick buckets and the Pilots go up 60-50

 

[kiddman32]

BRuins come right back, 60-54 with a FT coming

 

[kiddman32]

Missed FT, but Bruin eventually knocked down a 3. Aaaaaaand another. Tied at 60, Pilots have ball with 14.2 seconds left.

 

[kiddman32]

Pilots can’t score... OVERTIME!

 

[kiddman32]

Bucket for the Pilots, but Campos fouls out..

 

[kiddman32]

Bruins sink a 3.... 64-62, their first lead in forever

 

[kiddman32]

Ba makes a layup to tie it up, but Bruins make a pair at the line. 66-64 Bruins, 1:24 left

 

[kiddman32]

Kiener airballs on a play run for him... Bruins miss a pair, Pilot on the line...

 

[kiddman32]

Pilot FT missed, Bruins lose it back, but Pilots get a good shot and miss. Bruins ball, 2pt lead, 18 secs left

 

[kiddman32]

Fouled immediately. Bruin at line

 

[kiddman32]

Both FT’s good.

 

[kiddman32]

Pilots manage to get inside quick and draw a hack... Both free throws good. 68-66, 8.4 seconds left, Bruins ball

 

[kiddman32]

Quick foul, Bruin at line... first ft good... 2nd missed... Pilot Julian Vaughn’s fires from half court... GOOOOOOOOD!!!

 

[kiddman32]

Double OT!

 

[kiddman32]

A bucket each way, tied at 71

 

[kiddman32]

Pilot FT, 72-71

 

[kiddman32]

Vaughn’s is a MAN in this OT... his scoring makes it 75-71

 

[Crosstown Rival]

Pilot FT, 72-71

Kiddman is the best! Love the passion.

 

[kiddman32]

Vaughn’s scores yet again to make it 77-71 before Bruins finally score... Pilots ball leading 77-73 with 1:19 left

 

[m4success]

Wow!!

 

[kiddman32]

77-74 now, 48.5 left, then Pilots nail a pair of FT’s

 

[kiddman32]

Ba dribbles off 10 seconds, Vaughns sinks two FT’s... Bruins race down and score, time out. 81-78 with 14secs left

 

[kiddman32]

Quick foul, Ba at the line
