Damn Near A Huge Upset

I work at Desert Pines:
This is why they play the games.
The Desert Pines High basketball team entered its Saturday game against Findlay Prep ranked No. 398 in the nation by Maxpreps.com. Findlay Prep, of course, is a national power with just seven defeats the last five years. Ranked No. 1 in every poll.
But unknown Desert Pines, the Northeast Las Vegas school and Division I-A power, nearly pulled off an upset for the ages at the Hardaway Hoopfest at Coronado. They led Findlay six points with two minutes to play in the third quarter and had two shots to win at the buzzer in a 64-62 defeat.
Findlay, which is housed in Henderson, takes blue-chip players from around the world and plays a schedule packed with nationally respected opponents. It doesn’t compete for a Nevada state title, but plays exhibition games against Las Vegas area teams about three times annually.
State power Bishop Gorman typically keeps the score the closest, while others teams are blown out by 40 or more points. That was supposed to be how the Desert Pines game played out.
And, when most teams would celebrated the moral victory of a close game, the Desert Pines players weren’t all too thrilled. After all, it was a loss.
“That doesn’t do it for us,” Desert Pines coach Mike Uzan said in a phone interview when asked if his players considered the result a moral victory. “At the end of the game, it’s a loss and we are 20-3, not 21-2. Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of my kids. Without a doubt, they believed in each other and played a great game.”  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/feb/02/findlay-prep-survives-scare-desert-pines-what-woul/
Hope the almost win goes to their head.
