ROOSEVELT FALL LEAGUE
semifinals
RASCALS 51, ROOSEVELT 43 OT

The Rascals overcame a six point deficit late in the second half and tied it up on Sadiqah Jihad's three to force overtime. In the extra session it was all Rascals as they scored right off the tip and every possession after that. The Rascals were perfect at the line in overtime (6/6).

In the first half Roosevelt had a 21-11 advantage before another patented strong finish by the Rascals. The Orange scored on their last four possessions to cut the margin at half to 21-20.

The Rascals are primarily Bloomington Kennedy players with a smattering of others. Roosevelt is almost exclusively Teddies, but in an ironic twist their primary post is Kaylani Edwards of Kennedy.
