thinking we would just beat them easily but instead they came out with some intensity that we weren\u2019t ready for\u201d said Wooten.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wooten ended with six points and three rebounds.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vikings got out rebounded in the first half having a total only of 12 rebounds throughout the entire half.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t want this to be our last game, we knew we had to step up our defense and get those rebounds\u201d said head coach Barry Barnes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vikings came out the second half pushing their defense and ending with 27 total rebounds.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being down at the half, score leader for Long Beach, Jace Bass never lost hope and knew there was plenty of time to catch up.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI knew we still had time to come out and get things together, in order for us to get the win\u201d said Bass <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bass ended with a total of 28 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last few minutes of the game the crowd was on their feet showing support for their home team and giving them the confidence.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHaving a big crowd like we did and them being supportive is what we needed, they were great &amp; we sparked harder off their energy\u201d added Bass<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only did the team spark off the crowds energy, but also making head coach feel the energy.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were waiting for the crowd to be involved from start, but having such a supportive crowd of what gave us confidence\u201d added Barnes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
