Addison really played well in the second half as they outscored Oakman 36-20 to take the 63-41 victory.  The turning point of the game, where the Bulldogs pulled away was at the 4:20 mark of the third period.  Addison rolled off 14 straight points to lead by 17.  It started with a Wilkins put back, a Joey Wilson 3 pointer, Roberts lay up, Wilkins lay up and ended with another Wilson trey.  It was over by then.
