The Warriors started off the half strong, executing their drills as planned. For the first half of the game, the Warriors remained in the lead by 13 ending the half with a score of 31-18.

“Preparing we didn’t do anything different, just had fun focused on the game,” Madden said. “Overall this game was great, we shot well and just had fun with it. I hope we play many more like it. For anyone who reads this, I better see you at the next game.”

During the second half of the game the Warriors gained on the Dragons, almost doubling their 13-point lead to a 25-point lead, ending the game at 62-37.

“To prepare for the game, our JV learned one of their offensive plays to run against whenever Round Rock ran that play against us in the game because we already knew how to stop it,” Victor said. “The game went great. Our shooters had a great night and we also had a lot of rebounds. It was an overall successful night.”
