On their final offensive play, Bayside would air ball the shot and the Tigers would survive a comeback for their first win of the season.

“I thought we played tremendously hard to start the game,” said TRM head coach Juan Johnson. “We made a few mistakes down the stretch but we found a way to win the game. Give Bayside a lot of credit, they have an outstanding ball team. We will go back and watch the film and find out more about ourselves and we’ll go from there.”

For the game Johnson had 22 points six rebounds. Ahmaud Taylor recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
