JV Hawks Beat South County: 49-47

We started out very slow in the first half Friday night only scoring 7 points in the first quarter. South County (SC) jumped out to an early 7 – 0 lead in the first quarter. SC continued to increase their lead as they made 4 back to back threes to go into halftime with a 14 point lead. After half time our boys came out knowing that they were down but still had a chance to win the game. The guys started playing harder which led to us getting steals and easy fast break points. In the third quarter we only allowed SC to score 5 points and cut the deficit to 2. Going into the fourth quarter we knew that we had all the momentum and had a great chance to win the game as long as we keep up the great defense and offensive play. Halfway through the fourth quarter we ended up taking the lead and we never gave it back. This was a good win for our guys after being down 17 points at one point. It shows that they will fight till the very end regardless of the adversity in front of them. We shot 39% from the field and 44% from the free throw line.
