J-D opened the game hot. They jumped out to an early ten point lead, thanks in large part to using their size to shut down Fulton with their man-to-man defense.

After their early struggles, the Red Raiders were able to fight back in the second quarter. Led by senior guard Seth Grimshaw, Fulton brought the game within two. Jamesville-DeWitt needed a quick adjustment, and an aggressive press did the job. By halftime, the Rams had a more comfortable 29-22.

The teams went back and forth with scoring runs in the third quarter. But in the fourth quarter, the Red Raiders started to make a comeback. With a few threes from Grimshaw and some finishes through contact by junior Dom Abbot, it was just a two point game with four minutes to play.

Again, the pressure from J-D\u2019s full court defense was too much for Fulton. Free throws from Shumpert iced the game in the final minute of play.
