Moreau High School achieved a thrilling overtime victory over Dougherty Valley in the CIF NorCal playoffs, solidifying their reputation for handling pressure. Despite trailing for most of the game, they surged back, with Kellen Hampton scoring an impressive 43 points. Moreau's ability to adapt and perform under pressure was evident, particularly in the fourth quarter. The match featured an unusual number of fouls, with both teams attempting 78 free throws, indicating a tightly called game. Coach Frank Knight celebrated their performance against defending champions, highlighting their determination and teamwork.
We're just conditioned for this. We've just faced these situations multiple times this year and tonight we pulled through.
It's hard to put this game into perspective. We're on one helluva run. We're playing good. We're clicking. The guys are doing it for themselves, and they're playing hard.
I knew the game was going to come down to the wire. It's just about staying persistent, staying consistent and just doing what we could to get out of here with a W.
To do it on the road against the defending NCS Division I champions, who everyone thought should have been in the Open Division, is satisfying.
