In the fourth quarter, it was all about fouls and free throws.
Everybody on the team played for about one-half the game. The boys played well together, no matter who was on the floor.
We lost big up there, but we beat them by one down here.
I wouldn't give them up for nobody. Both of them worked their butts off. They're just good kids.
We led 19-11 before Washburn (9-4) put on a five-point run to get back within three at the end of the first quarter. The tide turned at that point and Washburn could do no wrong.
All 13 of our boys played and had good success. We needed to prepare for Thursday's game at home against Prentice.
It was a battle from the start. Mellen pressing full court and Mercer trying to control the tempo.
There was a lot of hype today at school with the Hurley-Mercer rivalry. It was good to win.
Butternut played a very deliberate game, holding the ball on every play until they had exactly the shot they wanted. That limited our possessions to very few.
