Game Review The talent match up was not as much as a mismatch as the intensity was. This game was over before it started as Tom Weko led Southwest giving them no chance and not ready to fight a dominate program like Johnson. Johnson treated this game like is was a championship game and came to win one.
Johnson This Game me Johnson this was a great team effort as Johnson had 10 different players score and 6 of them scoring 8 or more points. The was a breakout game for Peirre Conwell 28pts dominating the game, scoring from everywhere. Quashingm Smith-Pugh 21pts had complete performance making plays for other and on defense.
Southwest Southwest came out flat and did not come into this game thinking of winning a championship. They would not realize what type of game they were into until it was to late. Demetruis Cady 20pts had a solid game but seem out of focus. Camron Ross 17 showed that he can score against anyone when pushed. Eamon Brodek 17pts came on in the seond half and had a impact.
