The Cougars showed their tenacity and tried to make it a game pressing the Devils and putting up 33 points in the second half. “We knew they would make some kind of run: it is high school basketball, they have a good team,” said Feath. “Nothing is going to be handed to us at this point. Everyone is going to give us their best shot.”
