Down 22-11 with the third quarter winding down, things were looking grim, but the Chargers refused to give up. Riding on the backs of some stellar defense, the Chargers bore down and went on a 14-4 run to bring the Eagle lead within one. Finally, with 28 seconds to go, fifth grader Jose Andrade stole the ball before the Eagles could run out the clock, and stormed down the court. Under pressure, Andrade turned and dumped the ball off to sixth grader Briggs Murphy, who had his shot blocked. In a scramble, sixth grader Brookes Keltner snagged the loose ball in the corner, and, double-teamed, swung the ball back to the top of the key. Murphy dribbled, pumped, and with 10 seconds to go, sent it to Andrade, who took no chances this time around, burying a deep two-pointer off the glass. The crowd erupted.
