“It was really fun to get that last point so we could win,” Brunt said. “I think if we just keep playing hard and playing together, we’ll do great.”

The team will continue on to the semifinals of the tournament, which will be held at Mesquite High School on Saturday at 4 pm.

“I can’t predict anything for the semifinals, but we’re gonna play hard like we always do,” Bellis said.
