Mounting a Comeback

This game was somewhat personal...not only was this team undefeated but...

This was the team that so frustrated Zack the last time they met that I ended up pulling him from the game at halftime... the game they ended up losing 47-13.

I was anxious to see how he would handle the same situation.  And, indeed, as the game began they quickly found themselves in a similar situation - losing by a bunch!

It really looked as if they were headed for the same outcome as last time...I mean they could only put together 3 points in the first quarter!

By halftime they had mustered up 11 points but were still down by 13...and, by all appearances, it was not going to get any better.

The boys were all handling things very well - including Zack - and their coach was able to make some halftime adjustments...and things started to click.  They mounted an amazing comeback.

But in the end...they simply ran out of time and lost by 5.  You can see how excited they were about it!

#14 hit two clutch 3 pointers down the stretch!

Zack scored 12 points and took over position as the team's leading scorer (the boy who was the leading scorer was sick yesterday and couldn't play...he also didn't score in the last game when Zack scored 17). 

What a great effort and another fun game to watch.

Tournament this weekend!
