In the semi-final game, the Unstoppable Broncos of Mansfield Legacy were stopped, or were at least put on pause by a swarming Bond Servant defense and gutsy offensive play. It was a spirited and entertaining game with numerous lead changes and a heart-stopping finish. The game very nearly got out of control with a double technical on the Broncos and a couple of player ejections.
The Bond Servants kept their focus on the game and were able to pull out a victory.
The final was another outstanding basketball game. The Bond Servants stung a good Ferris Jackets team with a great zone defense and some clutch offensive plays down the stretch. The Bond Servants came back to win from a 7-point deficit at the beginning of the second of half to hold the Ferris team scoreless for a 9+ minute stretch and take the lead, and to ultimately take the championship trophy from the jackets.
Congrats to the players and Coach Coner. It was a great tournament for the Bond Servants and every player gave 100%.
