As the tournament unfolds, the team wins. And wins. And wins again. Eventually, they find themselves in the championship game.

His opponent? The team for which he spent several years as an assistant coach. The head coach he would face off against was the head coach back in his days of being an assistant.

Ironically, many believed the opponent had little chance to be in the championship game, either.

Is this some sort of a movie?

No, this drama played out this week in Western Hall as the Macomb Bombers head coach Danny Watson watched his team march through to the tournament championship, 42-37 over Pleasant Plains, just days after his father passed away.

The Bombers opened up an 11 point lead midway through the third. But that's when Pleasant Plains (6-8) turned up the defensive pressure and clawed their way to the lead with 1:36 remaining. Tyler Thorman answered with a three to give Macomb (7-3) a lead they would keep until the final buzzer sounded.

Seth Wickert was the only player in the game to score in double-figures as he pumped in 10 for the Bombers. He also had seven rebounds and was named to the all-tournament team.

Logan Harris, also an all-tourney team member, led the Cardinals with 9 points ans seven rebounds.
