B Game: In the opening game, O'Gorman prevailed 35-29. The Knights used intense ball pressure in the first half to force several uncharacteristic turnovers that led to points. However, the Mustangs used a furious comeback in the 4th to cut into the home team's lead. "I feel like our guys stepped up huge after getting down early..." shared Coach Hoegh "...It's too bad the game wasn't a few minutes longer. They beat us by 29 in our first meeting, and now the difference was six. Sam D. had an outstanding game offensively and defensively. Tyler K. also gave us a great amount of points, rebounds, and energy. We used to have a team, early in the year, that got down on themselves after mistakes. That team isn't there anymore. We now have a bunch of guys that refuse to quit."
A Game: In a see-saw battle of city powers, O'Gorman prevailed 37-34. The Mustangs came out firing on all cylinders, taking a 7-0 lead. However, the home team came right back, using a couple of offensive rebound put-backs to build an 11-9 first quarter lead. Memorial answered with some of its most inspired play of the season to take a slim lead going into the 4th quarter. In the final frame, O'Gorman hit several key outside shots that allowed them to maintain their undefeated record. Coach Hoegh concluded, "Despite the loss, I feel that this was the best game that we've played this year. Each one of our guys should be proud of how hard they played, and, even more importantly, how they played as a team. They had each others' backs out there. Pierce M. had a big-time performance. Kolby S. really made things happen, too. I could say the same for each guy on the team. It is too bad that we ended up losing the game, but we can build on this game to get better in the next."
Next Game: 3/10 vs. Edison
