99 98 Under 16B Basketball The team had mediocre results in the first half of the season, but this doesn’t reflect how close many games were. They often came within striking distance of their opponents and nearly pulled off dramatic upsets against schools with larger numbers. The team’s never-give-up attitude was evident, with several games coming down to the final possession. If those shots had gone in, the outcomes could have been different.
