Once the second half started, he came alive, hitting three threes in a row to open the third—one off his own offensive rebound, another after flaring off a down screen, and a third from the top of the arc. In the fourth quarter, he attacked more aggressively, a baseline drive, a spinning layup, and finishing off a back-cut. His scoring in the second half kept Woodstock in the game, energizing his teammates and the defensive end. Finished with four second-half threes and 22 points total.
