Recap
Murrieta, CA — A wise Ram man said, "you are winning the close ones".......I will continue to focus on this wise man's statement.
We fought through a lackluster 1st half effort and turned it around in the 2nd half on the shoulders of Senior Elisha Williams. Elisha (13 points overall) inspired and came through big time as he led the Rams in the 3rd quarter to overcome an 8 point deficit and eventual overtime victory. Elisha was assisted by a big 2nd half performance from Junior Devin Fortune (11 points in the 2nd half) and the consistent scoring of Senior Shamar Wright (career high 29 points). We built an 8 point lead with 3 minutes to go before needing Devin Fortune's 2 FTs with 10 seconds left just to get it to overtime. Then in overtime, we again built an 8 point lead before having the score narrowed to 2 points on a final basket of the game by El Camino. It was a struggle all night but another defeat of a top 20 team from San Diego.
