8th Grade Scots v. Joaquin Moraga Intermediate

Piedmont 53 - JM 47
In their final league game, the Scots got a slow start against the Joaquin Moraga Marauders, trailing by 7 at the end of the first quarter. The Scots turned up the heat in the second quarter with their full-court press, which led to baskets by Preston Tung, Michael Tam and Miles Lee, bringing the Scots within one point. Consistent rebounding by Nick Docter and Spencer Kim kept the momentum going for Piedmont, bringing the half-time score to Piedmont 20, JM 22. The teams traded the lead repeatedly, with Grant Gadbois, Kevin Wu and Russell Jang driving to the basket to score. The Scots highlighted their offensive rebounding skills in one particular sequence, when each player on the floor -- Tung, Kim, Lee, Jang and Corey Collier -- all got the rebound to give the team multiple shot attempts and got a roar of applause from the crowd. The Scots sealed the deal in the final minutes, taking the lead and winning the game, 53 - 47. High-scorers were Tung with 11 points, and Kim and Docter with 10 points each.
