Back and forth game played at Doss!

 

Big win for the Colts!

Big win for the Colts!! Both teams were a little bit edgy at first. Jitters I guess. Western was the first to settle down and began to extend their lead. The Colts made a small run at the end of the 1st quarter and pulled to within 4 at the end of 1 quarter. At the half Western was leading 33-31 but DeSales big man Crew Gibson had been limited by foul trouble in the 2nd Quarter. Gibson managed to last out the game without fouling out. The Colts are glad he did because near the end when the score was going back and forth, Gibson made a couple of crucial blocks and rebounds & the Colts guards began to find their range from outside. Western played a great game. Their pressure defense was very good. Their bigs matched up with the Colts bigs inch for inch & their guards were pesky and quick.  The Colts will face the winner of Iroquois & Butler on Thursday. I know the odds are against them, but DeSales is going to make an interesting "dark horse" in the Regional.
