Division 3 News
Historic Day for Coach Kevin Jensen
In what may have been a historic first in Hingham GALS basketball history, Coach Kevin Jensen competed in and won the Championship Sunday Daily Double.
Part one of feat was that both Coach Jensen's teams (Division 2-B and 3-A) made the finals. Part two of the feat (the historic part) was that both teams won their respective championships.
In both games, the story lines were the same, including the number of points scored by Team Jensen in each game; 22.
Tightly fought contests through the first three quarters, and Team Jensen found a way to pull away in the fourth quarter.
In the Division 2-B (fifth & sixth grade) championship game against Team Gannon, a 10-4 fourth quarter run was used by Team Jensen to extend a narrow 12-11 third quarter lead, on route to the 22-17 victory.
In the Division 3-A (seventh & eighth grade) championship game against Team Berger, the same formula was used. Team Jensen used a 9-4 fourth quarter run to extend a 13-10 third quarter advantage to a 22-14 victory.
Team Mischik Shows Character in Quarterfinal Defeat
Two minutes into the third quarter of tonight's fourth quarterfinal game in Division 3-A, Team King had built a 25-2 lead over Team Mischik.
Time to start up the bus! Nice Season! All the appropriate cliches were ready to be spoken.
There wasn't any reason for the team in RED to play any longer. In fact, it had been very difficult for the team to get a shot off at the basket, much less score.
But no one had told the team to stop playing. When a shot was finally made, a cheer went up from the crowd. But then another shot went in, and another, and another. Fourteen points in all and by the end of the third quarter, there was hope.
The improbable run continued into the final eight minutes. With three minutes remaining, the once 23 points lead was trimmed to just six at 28-22.
Unfortunately for the team in RED, the comeback came at the price of increased defensive intensity and personal fouls. This put Team King was in the double bonus situation. The team in WHITE made their free throws and won the game 32-22.
The team in RED showed determination, heart, and their true character this evening. Hats off to Team Mischik!
How far will the Patriots go this season?
