4th Quarter Surge Powers Fit To A Tee to 24-20 Opening Victory

A 10-0 run by the Fit To A Tee 3rd Grade Boys Basketball team turned a 20-14 deficit into a 24-20 victory as Fit To A Tee opened up the 2009 YMCA Youth Basketball League season, defeating Diesel Speed Truck Shop.

Fit To A Tee used a balanced scoring attack as 6 players scored with Ben Mendella leading the way with 8 points. Donovan Ferguson, Lance Warfel and Jacob Spitz chipped in with 4 points each.

Donovan Ferguson looked very smooth as his offensive rebound and reverse put back sparked the run as Diesel Speed led 20-14 before Donovan's basket. Defensive stop after defensive stop frustrated Diesel, and the Fit To A Tee boys started finding the hoop after poor shooting early on found them in a 6 point deficit to start the 4th quarter. Donovan had a huge block under the basket that landed in the hands of teammate Jacob Spitz, who drove the length of the court to find Lance Warfel open under the hoop for an assist as Warfel's shot went in, hitting nothinng but the bottom of the net. On the very next possession for Diesel, Donovan had his third block of the game and Ben Mendella grabbed the loose ball this time, driving in for an uncontested lay-up.

Donovan led his team with 6 rebounds, pulling down 4 offensive boards, which resulted in 6 points for Fit To A Tee as they were able to maintain possession of the ball.
