Fighting back on defense, and with a 16 point run, we edged ahead of Jefferson 25-24 with about 11 minutes left of the second half. The game remained close, with never more than 5 point deficit until the last 4 minutes when Jefferson pulled ahead by 7 and began to stall. We ended up losing a tough one 36-47.
