IN THE 17 U CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THE HOWARD PULLEY BLUE TEAM TOOK ON HOUSTON HOOPS

The Howard Pulley 17U blue squad took on the Houston Hoops squad in the 17 U championship game.

Houston came out in a full court man-to-man defense to begin the game. Pulley looked to get the ball into Siyani Chambers hands. He found the basket early on.

The score was close throughout the beginning of the game.

Houston Hoops was very aggressive on the defensive end. They did not let Pulley get any easy looks.

Siyani Chambers for Pulley also took the ball hard to the rack. He knew where he was on the court. Zach Lofton scored 10 pts in last 2:20 of the first half to give a 34-32 Pulley lead.

Both teams got really physical in the second half. Both teams dove on the ground after loose balls.

The score went back and forth throughout the second half. Neither team was able to go on a run. Pulley kept on attacking the glass and Houston Hoops was not able to slow down Howard Pulley.

Despite a late minute rally the Howard Pulley was able to hang 61-53 victory over Houston Hoops.
