Thanks to a Cardinal Gibbons parent for sending this in, it’s not the normal format, but certainly a nice recap! If the coaches want to send in the stats and the score by quarter, we’ll add to this!

Gibbons scored first to make it 1-0, but then Kings fired back quickly.  End of the first was Kings 6-2.  Gibbons with a solid second quarter with many adjustments on the defensive end which helped the offense get in a rhythm to close the half with a Kings lead 7-6.

Gibbons continued the momentum through the 3rd to take the lead and close the quarter Gibbons 10-9.  The fourth quarter was hard fought by both teams.  With a 31 seconds to go, Gibbons was man up (locked in) and down by 2 – Kings 13 – Gibbons 11.  Gibbons scored with 10 seconds left to make it Kings 13-12.  Kings faced off full strength, but they had too many men on the field because of the locked in penalty.  Gibbons ball.  Gibbons went down and scored with 8 seconds left to tie the game 13-13.  Kings won the FO and held it to send it to OT.  

In OT, King had the ball, settled the ball, moved it around, took 1:30 off the clock and took a shot that was saved, and Gibbons came up with a big GB.  Gibbons took it down, moved it around, shot off the goalie, GB scrum and out on Gibbons behind the goal.  Kings ball.  Kings time out. Kings sailed a pass, from the midfield line before going out of bounds, to their end of the field.  GB scrum behind the goal. Loose ball push on Kings.
