Win 49-44

On Saturday evening, the Golden Knights squared off against the hosting Rivers team at their Holiday Tournament. The Knights were defeated in this championship game last year against the same opponent, so had extra motivation to come away with the win.

From the opening tip, they played like it. Strong defense, led by a pair of steals from Tyler Burton, helped to set the tone. The Knights also were very aggressive towards the hoop, and moved the ball well. Seniors Stephon Baxter and Jared Ullstrom combined for six assists in the first half alone. This tough, team-first approached helped Marianapolis work their way to a 32-24 lead at the half.

After the break, Rivers punched back. They played tough defense, and buried a few shots of their own. However, Marianapolis was able to get to the line consistently, knocking down ten free throws in the second half. This helped them to hang on for a 49-44 victory.

With the win, MPrep moves to 6-2 on the season, with a 4-1 record in Class B.
