MCL Tournament Quarterfinal Game
Phillipsburg 45, Ellis 43
Overview — the game was very close throughout—a real defensive juggernaut. The Railers held a 5 point lead at halftime, but foul trouble to key players in the 3rd quarter led to Phillipsburg’s taking the lead and holding on for the win at the end.
Coach’s Comment — “It’s a shame that such a spirited defensive effort was canceled by foul trouble, poor shooting, and too many turnovers on offense.”
Key stats — Matt Ernst 16 points
