Moraga 35 - Fifers 29
The Fifers played well but ultimately fell to a strong Moraga team. The first half saw several lead changes, with scoring by Jackson Parker, rebounding by Gus Gilbert, and defense and passing by Nate Levinson. Moraga hit several long outside shots in the second to pull away.
Orinda 35 - Fifers 34
The Fifers ended their season with a thrilling game against Orinda. The Fifers jumped out to a 15-10 first quarter lead on 7 points by Nate Levinson. Orinda held the Fifers scoreless in the second quarter, and took a 21-15 halftime lead. Fifers’ coach Marikah Woodson went to a box-and-one defense in the second half, and Jake Baccetti and Nate Levinson shut down Orinda’s high scorer; however, Orinda still led by 8 going into the 4th quarter. Strong defense and rebounding by the Fifers, and clutch shots by Carson Strout, Jackson Parker and Gus Gilbert, put the highlanders down by one with 30 seconds to play. Levinson stole an Orinda pass to give the Fifers possession, a mad scramble ensued, and the Fifers had one last layup attempt that missed as the buzzer sounded. It was a great way to end a fun season, in which all of the Fifers improved their skills and came together as a team.
