Both of Sterling's 3s looked like they were in as soon as they left his hand. Sweet stroke.

This is senior night and what we are witnessing is the experience and savy of seniors. All the little things developed over time, coaching and playing together.

They play like very well coached, very mature seniors. A joy to watch.

Good first half.

[PoconoPony]

Excellent game planning by the staff to neutralize Brimah. Looks like a big stiff just trying to figure out where to be and what to do. Unselfish passing of the ball and following the game plan.
