THE THUNDERBIRDS FIGHT HARD BUT LOSE A CLOSE ONE AT THE STATE FINAL FOUR

The THUNDERBIRDS started the game strong with a 7-0 run but the Mt. San Antonio College Mounties came back and had the THUNDERBIRDS down at halftime by 11. In the second half the Thunderbirds were down as much as 18 then made a 15-3 run to close within 6 points 3 times in the second half but ran out of gas... Final score THUNDERBIRDS 75 MT SAC 84. What is clear is this THUNDERBIRD squad made history this year as the first squad to make it to the state final four since the 1955 squad as well as the first #15 seeded team to make it the state final four. We wish all the sophomore THUNDERBIRDS good luck and thanks for such as special season!
