The Scots' first game of the tournament was an exciting rematch against the Joaquin Moraga Marauders. Nick Docter had several blocks and rebounds, including a buzzer-beater at half-time to take the lead, 14 -12. Michael Tam scored off of steals by Grant Gadbois and Spencer Kim. The Scots were up by 2 with 11 minutes left in the game when Moraga made a three-pointer to take the lead. Although the Scots fought hard to regain the lead, the Marauders took a determined stand and took home their first victory against the Scots this season. Final score: Piedmont 37 - JM 42.In their second game of the tournament, the Scots took the early lead against the King Cobras. The Cobras answered with a three-pointer at the buzzer to come within 5 at half-time. Spencer Kim led in scoring with 9, with support from Kevin Wu and Michael Tam with 5, Grant Gadbois, Corey Collier, Miles Lee and Joseph Powell with 4, and Preston Tung, Chris Fetterolf and Nick Docter also getting on the board. Ben Wilson added to the defensive effort as the Scots took a commanding lead to win the game, Piedmont 42 - King 33.
Piedmont went on to the Consolation round, where they were defeated by Dorris-Eaton. Coach Josh Dozier concluded his second year of coaching with Piedmont Middle School, continuing to build on the boys' skills and instilling a strong sense of teamwork which was evidenced in the unselfish play exhibited at the tournament. The Scots players and parents all wish to acknowledge Coach Dozier's patience, time and effort in guiding the team through a challenging season. We hope the season was as memorable for you as it was for all of us.
Thank you, Coach!
