shooting at the end of the first half. Totzke made back to back baskets for the Falcons to get them back on track and the visitors went on to score eight straight field goals to close out the half. Aguilera hit a key three pointer off an offensive rebound during the rally and Totzke capped off the run with a layup that cut the Newman lead down to one. After scoring 14 points over the first 14 minutes of the game, the Falcons rattled off 18 over a three minute span to bring themselves right back into the game.

The two squads battled back and forth over the lead to open the second period, neither able to take more than a one possession advantage over the other. A basket from Totzke gave the Falcons a 54-52 lead with 10 minutes left in the game and after Abbotsford was able to get a stop on defense, they finally managed to break away slightly after Payton Schreiber came through with a play in the paint to put the visitors up by four.

Another scoring spurt sealed the game for Abbotsford. Up 60-57, the Falcons went on a 16-2 run, led by nine points from Totzke and four more courtesy of Jack Sheahan. The sequence turned a once close game firmly in favor of the Falcons, who left with a doubledigit victory over the Marawood-South team.

It was another double-double night for Totzke, who added 10 rebounds to his 27 points, leading Abbotsford in both categories. Aguilera and Decker’s shooting from range turned out to be key as well, as the pair accounted for all six of the Falcons made three-pointers. Aguilera added six rebounds and Decker had a team-high four assists.

Schreiber finished with seven points and six rebounds, Sheahan had six points and AJ Brodhagen put up five points. Miguel Bautista and Christian Fuentes also scored for the Falcons, putting up four and two points respectively.
