The San Quentin Warriors basketball team came down to the hoops court, but could not prevent the visiting team, called the Prison Sports Ministry, from making many of their shots.
Visiting player Mike, in green jersey number 14, made several three-point shots, but Bear of the Warriors came back with several free-throws to even the score.
Warriors’ coach George Lamb held his anxieties and kept his composure throughout the game. It was a very exciting game to watch from the sidelines. Bear made an exciting layup move, then was fouled while attempting to land a three-pointer. He made the free throws, tying the score in the third quarter.
However, the Warriors could not prevail, losing by the final score of 101-90.
The second game that week was against Imago Dei, sporting black and yellow jerseys. The Warriors had played Imago Dei once before this season, losing 80-78. Warriors’ player Bear made most of the home team’s points and although the game was tied at halftime, the visitors won the rematch by a score of 104-63.
On Memorial Day the Warriors played against the Over-40 San Quentin Kings, which was a friendly game. Coach Lamb seemed excited about his team’s performance, which scored many of its points on slam dunks.
