They pulled it off even though the Governors had won just two sectional games since 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Doubling their sectional win total for the last decade was impressive enough. Doing so after trailing in the fourth quarter of both their tournament games was even more incredible.<\/p>\n<p>Interim Head Coach Scott Lush heaped praise on his seniors, not just for their performances, but for their ability to keep it all together. They lost a man a lot of them looked up to in Head Coach Robert Hall, who passed away in January after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n<p>In their semi-final game against the East Chicago Cardinals, the seniors carried the mantle.<\/p>\n<p>First, Kristopher Mingo\u00a0hit a big 3-point shot to bring the Governors within one point of the Cardinals. Then Kionne Layne\u00a0scored a go-ahead shot on the next possession. Morton lost the lead with just 12.2 seconds to go.<\/p>\n<p>Mingo\u2019s number was called again.
