Falcons storm back for comeback victory to set return to state title game
Shaw came out the gates swinging. They knocked down a pair of three pointers in the first quarter and wrecked havoc on defense, forcing Ingomar into 12 first quarter turnovers en route to a 14-7 lead.
Thankfully for Ingomar, it’s not how hard you hit. It’s how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.
Ingomar took out Shaw in comeback fashion Monday, storming back to the title game with a 64-56 win.
The Falcons grabbed the momentum late in the third quarter and never let it go, paflaying a Hunter Bynum buzzer beating 3 into a big run to start the final quarter.
