“They trapped us in the half court at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter and capitalized on some turnovers,” said Ellington coach Don Flint, whose team was up by 10 points in the third quarter.

Point guard Jon Bassett had an outstanding sophomore season, Flint said, and junior Matt Anderson averaged close to 15 points and 14 rebounds over the final six games. Junior forward Justin Dionne was averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds each when he injured his back and missed the final six games.
