Imme- diately after this, Al Keating broke loose and made a nice hang shot making the score 4-0. At this point Roscoe began using its scoring abil- ity and quickly sprang into the lead. In the second half, our boys fought hard, but could not make their shots good. They kept Roscoe’s scoring down, but could not add any points to their own score. The final score was 25-14.
