In their final pre-district game of the season, the Warhorses took on Fredericksburg on Monday night. The first half was a tight back and forth struggle with Devine down 24-26 at the half. When the Billies stepped back out on the court, the Warhorses were unprepared to keep up with the new tempo and slowly fell further behind. They never gave up but could not get the ball to sink when they needed it the most. Devine lost 48-58.
Kramer 8, Martinez 7, Burford 9, Adams 10, J. Contreras 14. Q1 12-14, Q2 24-26, Q3 32-43, Q4 48-58. FTP 78%
