The fourth quarter saw the Arabians struggle to score with only 5 points put on the scoreboard. It might have been tired legs with a hard fought game last night and another tonight but you couldn't tell that by their effort. Jamison Dunham and Josiah Gustin tied for high scoring as they each scored 10 points. Luke Candiano scored 8, Ethan Ross had 6, Luke Weaver scored 5, Evan John with 3 and Carter Aldridge with 2. It was great to have seven Arabians score and that bodes well for our future. The Arabians are fun to watch.
