OK, maybe not.....

Spencer steal

 

Hornback fouled while shooting open three

 

Unfortunate for St. X; he missed the shot badly.

 

St. X player down; I can't see him because the crowd is in the way.

 

He went down hard after committing the foul.

Injured player is getting up. It's Carroll. Walking off with a slight limp. Looks OK

Hornback at line for three. He can cut this down to a four point game.

 

Makes the first.

Makes the second

Makes the third.

time out Spencer County

What a difference in the halves! Could not have imagined Spencer would get back in this game after the listless first half. Coach Burns of Spencer should bottle whatever he told his kids at the half.

 

St. X playing tough, but really having trouble handling the ball suddenly in the front court against the pressure Spencer is bringing on the ball.
