325 And the hunt begins

Before the start of the third quarter, Jason was sitting on the bench leaning all the way back with a wet towel resting on his face.

Coach Swendel as well as the rest of the players on the team were looking at Jason with a look that contained a mixture of respect and awe, some of them just smiling and shaking their heads in disbelief.

With the scoreboard reading 34-28 all of them understood that the lead that they had built and managed to maintain was all thanks to Jason.

He took on the assignment of guarding Rudy whenever he was out on the court as well as carrying the majority of the load on offense end in order to force Rudy to expend more energy on defense.

Although they were used to seeing Jason give a hundred percent effort every game this was the most they had seen an opposing team push Jason to his limits.
