Div2 was stacked this season, the finals saw the best 2 rise to the top to face off, Sugar Dunkertons and FIghting Mongooses, veterans vs a youthful stack of guys just like Div 1, it would be a match to be seen!

With no scores till 5 minutes in…it was only 8-9 at the end of quarter, Mongooses catching up not letting anyone get control.

AT halftime, Sugar Ds started to get some momentum, a with a 23-16 lead, it was still within reach, Sam H with 8 points 11 rebs 1st half double double, harry T had 6 so far for Mongooses, having a few nice plays to keep them within range. both teams only 1 3 pointer each, the paint is where it was at, 47% inside points vs 28% of the mongooses.
