However, luck was not on the Falcons’ side as time expired.
“It was a hard-fought game for both sides,” said assistant coach Brent Olson. “Very defensive game, because both teams had a hard time scoring in the paint and finding points. We kept competing to the end, which I’m proud of. It’s just games like this one, the teams that want it more come out victorious, and Phoenix Christian found a way to win.”
