North Hills, CA sophomore James “Deuce” Johnson had 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting to round out those in double figures for the Rustlers.
“This was not a question of being in shape or not knowing what needed to be done. But at the end of the game and in overtime there were still too many mental breakdowns. Our team is young with only three sophomores with any kind of experience, but it’s time to grow up and find a way on the court to finish the game. The effort is there, we need to find a way” Coach Curtis Condie said.
