B Conference - Red

Yesterday I got the chance to see some MIAA B Conference basketball. I saw the Friends School of Baltimore Quakers take on conference rivals St. Paul’s Crusaders. The Crusaders came in at 6-4 with notable wins against A Conference Loyola Blakefield, McDonogh, and a win against Conference rival Archbishop Curley. The Quakers came in 4-5 with notable wins against Annapolis Area Christian and Park. To begin the game the Quakers came out hot holding the Crusaders 24-21 at the half. The second half was not the same story. The Crusaders were playing great defense forcing turnovers, 3 point desperation shots, and holding the Quakers to only 9 points in the second half. On the other side of the paint the Crusaders were winning all the rebounds scoring 25 points in the second half. The game would end 33-46 making the Quakers go 4-6 and 1-2 in conference play while the Crusaders go 7-4 and now 2-1 in conference play.
