In the second period, Calhoun came out and played some great team defense, and the offense finally got things going as Tyler Sims scored 6 points all on 3 pointers and Tyler Tanner was the recipient of some good passing by Tyler Gerwig to allow him to 8 of his 12 points in the quarter. Sam Brad also chipped in with two as the Red Devils outscored the Yellow Jackets 16 to 3 in the second period to claim a 24 to 12 lead at the half.
