Damien Ferguson kept his word as he drove to the hoop, got in position for rebounds and played "stink on skunk" defense, turning his performance into the best played overall game of his career as his 4th Grade Boys Basketball Fit-To-A-Tee team succumbed to Pilson's 42-16. The loss leaves Fit-To-A-Tee with a record of 0-3 for the season.
Pilson's took an early lead as they scored the first 8 points of the game. Damien Ferguson got his team on board with a nifty reverse baseline layup that brought a few "oohs" and "ahs" from the crowd. When the quarter ended Pilson's held a 14-4 lead.
Fit-To-A-Tee did a little better in the second quarter as Damien ran the point. He fed the ball well to his teammates, but they were unable to convert, and the halftime saw Fit-To-A-Tee down 22-8, with Damien contributing 1 point as he went 1 for 2 from the line.
Damien had his team's only points in the 3rd quarter as they were outscored by a margin of 10-2. It could have been much worse, but Damien worked the boards well and pulled down three rebounds in the quarter, finishing with 6 for the game.

Many people in the crowd were won over by the play of Damien as several parents were heard chanting, "Let Damien bring the ball down" for his team.
