When he sat, #17 seed Dwight-Englewood made their run in the 4th quarter,cutting the lead to 5 which brought Leniw back!He preceded to make a key and one play late, but by now the Bulldogs were in it and “triples” by Senior Keon Osbourne and Senior Austin James cut the lead to 49-48 and with the ball!
