B Game: Memorial fell just short in the first game. It didn't look there'd be much of a game at all until midway through the 3rd quarter, when the Panthers of Patrick Henry held a commanding 24-10 lead. At that point the Mustangs charged back, and they came within three points before the home team solidified the win.
Coach Hoegh says: "I'm very proud of the way our guys fought back. That was a great comeback that showed how tough we can be mentally. This group had an outstanding season with some memorable moments and games, and that includes tonight."
A Game: Patrick Henry hosted Memorial in a match-up of two teams with just one loss - a contest that would decide which one would have the best record in the city. The Panthers got out to a hot start, and Memorial found themselves down by 8 to 10 points for most of the first three quarters. Memorial took command in the decisive 4th quarter, turning a nine point deficit into an 8-point victory.
Coach Hoegh says: "That was something else. It was probably the biggest game of the year, and our guys came through when it counted the most. Every single one of our guys made a huge impact in the game. It was great to see our guys play so well together - their best ball of the season - when they could easily have gotten down. Resiliency is such an important quality, and Memorial had it tonight. I had a great time coaching these players - on each team - and I hope they have success for the rest of the school year."
