Notes/Observations from the game:

Atmosphere for the game was awesome. Both sides were into it, felt like the rivalry game.

First half was a disaster for East Ridge, offense and defense were both undisciplined. In the second half East Ridge came out with a fire and took the momentum of the game by storm.

Last minute of the game was epic. Both sides made some mistakes, but ultimately East Ridge's Johnny Miller outplayed Dalton Richardson for Valley in the final seconds. Richardson let the ball slip through his hands along with the chance to tie the game on a three.

Ray Kasongo (ER): Didn't have his head on his shoulders in the first half, didn't play well at all. Second half was a different story. He made some terrible decisions, commited a couple of questionable fouls, but he hustled like I haven't seen him hustle before. He had a few key offensive rebounds that were huge for the Warriors.

Johnny Miller (ER): The kid is clutch. Hits a three with around 38 seconds to go to give ER a comfortable five point lead. He made some huge plays down the stretch and in the fourth quarter. Miller is extremely poised and carries the maturity of a player well beyond his age.

Tony Wolter (ER): Controlled the game and played his heart out. Hit some big free throws down the stretch that helped seal the game for the Warriors.

Hayden Mullins (ER): His numbers won't show the impact he had on this game. His rebounds, tip-outs, creating extra possesions for the Warriors was huge. He played a excellent game overall.

Dalton Richardson (SV): Extremely polished offensive player. Hit big shot after big shot. Like Miller, very mature and poised for a young man of his age.
