“We came out in the first half and they controlled the tempo and we didn’t play we wanted to play,” said Genesis Prep coach Marsell Colbert, whose team trailed 16-5 after the first quarter. “We settled down and got control of the game. We had a few guys that really stepped up to help us weather the storm and make a comeback.”

Jacob extended possessions for us with his offensive rebounding and Max got some key deflections and blocked shots and attacked the basket. Kon just manned the paint and changed the complection of the game with a dunk.”
