During (Game 1), Parmer reported, Sendai was the #2 ranked team in our conference behind us. They proved worthy of their ranking in the 1st quarter; they really out played us. Being down by 17 points at the end of the 1st quarter, and by 5 at the half, we knew we would have to come out with a better effort on the offensive and defensive end of the court. We did what we needed to do by limiting them to one shot on defensive end and being patient and playing as a whole on the offensive end which propelled us to a hard victory. The lesson was well learned. We needed a game like this. Many of our recent victories have not been close games at all. We now know as a team when things get tough and things are not going our way, we can overcome them no matter what.
During (Game 2), the lesson was well learned against Sendai on Saturday night. We came out with a different mentality than what we had in the 1st game. We played like there was no tomorrow which was very much needed being that Sendai gave us there best punch especially in the 3rd quarter when we built a lead by as much as 18. They cut that lead down pretty quick. From the end of the 3rd quarter and most of the 4th it was a great battle. Neither team wanted to lose but our fight proved to be much greater than the fight inside of them. I guess we showed the heart of a champion and we road that on to a close 5 point win!
GO PHOENIX!!!
