2009 2010 Warriors
Game 25: Region Game #18 vs. Harrison:
Looking for revenge against the Hoyas after playing 2 of their best games of the season and looking to peak for the Region Tournament just did not happen tonight. They stayed close until the 4th but just could not get the offense going and lost 64 to 47. Jalen Clark and Armani Jackson led the Warriors in scoring. I guarantee that there is not a team in the Region that wants to face this team in the upcoming Region Tournament because they can beat anyone in the Region!
