he and Fowler each had three
steals.
The Cardinals shot
28 of 74 from the floor for

the big difference in the game
was the Rockets’ 20 points

Pilot Rock shot 20-31 from
the free throw line while the
Cards struggled hitting just
seven of 20.
“We just ran out of
gas” said Coach Dennis Ste

deeper bench than us and
were able to use if effective
ly.” While the final margin
was 19, he was encouraged
by the team's effort to battle
back into the game. “ 1 saw
a lot of great things from our
kids. We are continuing to
improve and are becoming a
well-oiled unit.”
