 seats, but the fans who didn't show up early -- two or three hours early -- were left out in the cold and missed a classic.

The Toreadors rallied from a 21-point second-half deficit and had a chance to send the game into overtime, but Larry Drew Larry Donnell Drew (born April 2 1958 in Kansas City, Missouri) is a retired American professional basketball player who was selected by the Detroit Pistons in the 1st round (17th overall) of the 1980 NBA Draft.  missed a free throw with no time left and Campbell Hall escaped with a 73-71 victory and bragging rights for the year.

``Losing this game, the way we did hurts, and it's going to hurt for a long time,'' Drew said. ``We weren't going to give up though. We weren't going to roll over.

``We're too proud. We have too much heart.''

Jrue Holiday converted four consecutive free throws to give the Vikings, ranked No. 2 by the Daily News, a 72-68 lead with 27 seconds left.

Garrett Green answered with a 3-pointer with 15 seconds remaining for top-ranked Taft.

Jrue Holiday stepped to the line and hit one of two free throws to make it 73-71 with 10 seconds left. Drew proceeded to take the inbounds in·bounds

 pass the length of the court, was fouled by Keegan Hornbuckle and subsequently missed the foul shot.

``We want to come out and play against the best teams. We're up for the challenge,'' Campbell Hall coach Terry Kelly said. ``We're going to enjoy this victory tonight, enjoy the bragging rights for a little while, but then it's time It's Time was a successful political campaign run by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) under Gough Whitlam at the 1972 election in Australia. Campaigning on the perceived need for change after 23 years of conservative (Liberal Party of Australia) government, Labor put forward a  to get back to work.''

Campbell Hall opened the second half with a 15-point lead and, just as it appeared the Vikings were going to blow Taft out, Justin Holiday got into foul trouble and was forced to the bench.

``Losing Justin hurt,'' Jrue Holiday said.

Eugene Phelps and Taft responded. The 6-foot-7 junior was able to score at will inside, finishing with 10 points in the third quarter, and Drew added eight of his own, sparking a 13-2 run to cut the deficit to 62-52 heading into the fourth.

Justin Holiday re-entered the game but picked up his fourth foul with 6:10 left.

Green took over from there, scoring nine of his 14 points in the fourth quarter to spark Taft.

The Toreadors finally took a 68-66 lead on a layup by Phelps with 3:09 left, but the advantage was short lived.

``This was a respect thing for us,'' Justin Holiday said. ``We wanted to come and win this one. We went out and took care of business.''

Drew led Taft with 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Phelps had 23 points and 10rebounds. Green finished with 14 points, 11 in the second half.

Jrue Holiday had 26 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for Campbell Hall. Justin Holiday added 12 points and seven rebounds. Robert Ford Robert Ford may refer to one of the following:
  • Bob Ford, an American basketball player
  • Robert Ford (poet), a poet and Canadian diplomat
  • Robert Ford (outlaw), the man who shot Jesse James
 contributed with ninepoints and six assists.

Both teams came out lethargic, perhaps attempting to feel one another out.

Campbell Hall put together the game's first run behind the play of Ford, who hit a 3-pointer and found Jrue Holiday on a pair of alley-oop passes to key a 12-4 spurt and give the Vikings a 19-12 lead with 2:43 left in the first quarter.

``We were feeling comfortable in the second quarter,'' Ford said.

Justin Holiday made a 15-foot jumper to give Campbell Hall an eight- point lead heading into the second quarter, and the Taft deficit might have been bigger had Ford not missed an open 3-pointer as the first quarter buzzer sounded.

The Vikings seized the momentum early in the second quarter.

Justin Holiday converted a layup, Jrue Holiday nailed a 3-pointer and Keegan Hornbuckle made one from beyond the arc and, before the Toreadors knew it, they were down 31-15 at the 6:17 mark.

``There was a lot of hype surrounding this game but we didn't feel any pressure,'' Jrue Holiday said. ``We knew if came out and played hard we could win. We proved ourselves.''
