Time: 1:01 Remaining — 4th Quarter
Score: Vorpal 74 – Roanoke Storm 61
Possession: Roanoke Storm
The gym was electric not from the scoreboard, but from the refusal to lose. Roanoke Storm trailed, yes but they were not dead.
Coach Halter didn't even stand. He didn't shout. He just met Kagetsu Renjiro's eyes across the court and gave a nod.
That was enough.
Kagetsu clenched his fists once, rolled his neck, and muttered beneath his breath:
"Let's raise hell."
The ball was inbounded to Marcus "Flash" Daniels.
He didn't jog.
He launched.
Like a slingshot, he exploded across the floor Louie Davas tracking him tight, but Flash was built for this.
Crossover. Stutter step. Hesitation.
Louie stumbled for a fraction that was the opening.
Flash Daniels broke free then snapped a pass to Tyrese Caldwell in the corner.
Lucas rotated fast, nearly beat the ball to the corner but Tyrese didn't shoot.
Pump fake.
Side dribble.
Pull-up.
