Basha pulls away from Perry in the 4th

December 1st I attended the 6A region battle of two potential Top-10 teams in the AIA with the Perry Pumas traveling about 10 mins to take on the home Basha Bears.

The 1st quarter action was intense as it was all knotted up at 20 apiece with Lleyton Leonard pouring in 8 points and LJ Diamond had 7 points to pace Perry.

The second quarter belonged to the home team behind Mason Magee talents. He hit back to back 3's at the end of the half to give the Bears a 43-37 lead heading to the break.

The second half started and Victor Babic hit three straight triples to tie up the game at 46 with 6 mins to go in the 3rd. Kingston Montague got into the action and went on his own personal run with 8 points and Basha took a 60-54 lead heading into the 4th quarter.

The final quarter was all the home team with Maddox Lazor dominating the glass and Leonard finishing them off with some emphatic dunks on the break slowy pulling away to win 80-68.
