Re: 5A Semis: Norview (39) Potomac (31) - End of 3

Much-needed 3-point play for Potomac from Keijon Honore cuts the Norview lead to six at 37-31 late in the 3rdQ.

After three quarters, Norview leads Potomac 39-31

Re: 5A Semis: Norview (41) Potomac (34) - 6:27 - 4th Q

Potomac scores a quick basket to start 4th and picks up defensive pressure on Norview

7th Potomac foul and Norview is in the bonus, but can't connect. More missed opportunties. Potomac now in the bonus

Thru 3 quarters - the rebounds and turnovers are even with Potomac and Norview. What's not? 3-pointers. Norview 4/11, Potomac 0/10

Norview's Damion Madison to the line for a 1-and-1 - hits them both for a 41-34 lead over Potomac

6:27 to go - Norview 41, Potomac 34 in 5A State Semis. Damion Madison looks perplexed on 10-second violation (thought it was a quick 10).
