Prep Basketball Roundup: Flat Rock holds off Carlson comeback

The Rams raced out to 12-5 lead in the first quarter and led 27-15 at halftime, then held off a Carlson comeback for a 47-38 win Tuesday night.

“We got down in the first half,” Carlson coach Paul Morrison said. “I think we were really, really nervous. The gym was packed. Once they settled down, they started to play. Unfortunately for us, it took until the end of the third quarter for us to really start playing."
