“It was a rough first half. We had a hard time making shots, and turnovers were limiting our offensive opportunities. In the 2nd half the boys poured it on defensively, and made some tough shots going to the basket under pressure. Seth Gausman and Colt Meyer set the tone on defense, creating turnover after turnover. Shane Meer did a great job coming off the bench and finishing at the bucket with contact.” -Bulldogs Coach Chris Bradford.
