Primetime vs Meier Co

This is the game of the week! I can't say enough about both of these teams. Meier Co had a great start with Mike and Dwight leading there team to an early lead. Alex's scoring and Lanny's rebounds kept Primetime within striking distance. And then the fourth quarter happened. Meier Co had an 8 point lead going into the fourth quarter but they new that Primetime was going to unleash their signature press. And press they did. The fourth quarter speaks for itself. Primetime came back to win! What a great game.
