Throughout the first half of the championship game of the Mount Pleasant Holiday Basketball Classic, it looked like Jay M. Robinson was going to lose badly. The Mooresville Blue Devils were bullying the Bulldogs in the paint and hitting most of their shots. The Blue Devils’ pressure defense was also throwing Robinson off just enough to keep them off balance the entire half, and Mooresville took a 10-point lead into the break, 35-25.
Jay M. Robinson Coach Lavar Batts Sr. was all smiles after the tournament title, but his intense coaching and adjustments during the game helped the Bulldogs rally in the second half.
