The number of baskets a team makes in a game matters. But the timing of those scores can be just as important.
Case in point Mexico’s 69-43 district semifinal win over Hannibal on Tuesday at The Sports Complex. With the Bulldogs struggling on offense early, Jordan Mitchell lobbed a right hander from four feet out that rolled around the rim before dropping into the net.
The shot sparked a 10-2 outburst that gave Mexico a 25-9 cushion in the second quarter.
