Bad first half costs Seneca
PLANO — During halftime of the Seneca- — Ottawa contest Tuesday, Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” blared over the sound system in Plano’s gymnasium.
“We just weren’t stopping anybody,” Seneca head coach Russell Witte said. “We had a lack of defensive execution all game. We gave up layup after layup after layup.”
Time and time again, shots failed to fall for the Irish, and their defense was penetrated time and time again by the quick guards of Ottawa, and for the second straight quarter, Seneca was held to a mere four points.
Granted, the team only managed 28 percent shooting after the break, but more patience and better shot selection led to Seneca fighting their way back into the game, running off nine unanswered to start the half.

Complete with singing fans, Red Sox team mascot Wally the Green Monster and Red Sox championship banners.
The song was inspired by Caroline Kennedy, who introduced the Kennedy honorees and was on stage along with Robinson and the Fenway fan choir.
