The final eight minutes of the sophomore game proved to have the most excitement of the evening Tuesday at Prouty Gymnasium.

PHS trailed 54-40 in the fourth quarter, but outscored the Red Demons 23-3 over the final seven minutes to rally for a 63-57 win in the sophomore preliminary game. A technical foul and an intentional foul called on Hall helped to seal the win.

“We had an intense discussion after the 3rd quarter about playing with heart and effort. I am proud of my guys – they responded,” PHS coach Mike Fredericks said. “The kids that got in during the fourth quarter played the best 5-6 minutes I have seen all year. We need to play with that intensity and that fire on a more consistent basis. If we do that, good things will happen.”
