Both coaches knew what was on the line in this huge district battle.
And South Grand Prairie started off the game with quite the flare....Cameron Carroll leaves it up for Cameren Paul for the big time alley oop. Warriors out the gates nice, 2-0.
Haltom took advantage of this errant behind the back pass. You don't want to leave 6'8 Baron Smith with a clear path to the rim.....look out below. 19 points for him.
But S-G-P would rely on the 3 point shooting of Carroll. 16 points for him and the Warriors were up 28-23 at the half.
3rd quarter, more Carroll....nice bounce pass to Markece Young who scores and is fouled. SGP up 7.
We didn't forget about Oklahoma commit, Kuol Atak.....The senior threw quite the block party for the Buffalos as he was swatting shots left and right. The big man is hard to get around in the paint.
And when he wasn't altering shots, he was making tough 3 poiinters like this one. 19 points for him and Haltom tied the game at 41 in the 4th.
But the Warriors went back to what worked. Carroll to Paul for the alley oop. South Grand Prairie pulled away 56-49 and is the 8-6A district champs
