One of the most exciting 3rd grade games this writer has watched, the score was 10 – 10 with 2:47 left in the 3rd quarter. At the buzzer, St. Pius X increased the lead by 5 with a quarter ending score of 15 to 10.
Quarter 4:
A lot of energy was expended by both teams in the fourth quarter steals, shots, lots of missed attempts but plenty of attempts. At the end of the game the score stood 21 – 14 in favor of St. Pius X. Both teams played an incredible game
