Pleasant Home had one final chance, but came up just short.

“We just couldn’t get into our game,” Pleasant Home head coach Tony Wilson said. “They were double teaming River (Baldwin) and we expected some of that. We just couldn’t get into a flow and couldn’t hit a shot. We still kept them in the 30 range, but we just couldn’t find our rhythm tonight and it really showed. I really thought with us being in this position several times before we would have a little leg up. I don’t know it just felt like when we stepped on the floor we didn’t show up. We got ourselves in a hole early, got back and got the lead, thought we could separate ourselves there, and we really didn’t. We couldn’t recover from it almost. Tough loss and I hate it for these seniors, but we have had a very successful year and I’m extremely proud of each and every one of them.”
