At first the audience in attendance were silent. But as Jason and the rest of the team made their way out they seemed to have found their spirit again as their booing picked back up.
The reserve players made their way to the bench while Jason and the other starters stepped on to the court as they lined up for the pregame handshake.
Even though the pressure that Jason was currently exuding was much more intense than usual the players on the opposing team were only slightly shaken.
They showed the heart befitting of a team that was fighting for a high seeding and that had the hopes of chasing a county title.
As the two teams shook hands words were barely exchanged as the players all seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Hoover's team knew what had happened recently in regards to Jason and all the controversy currently surrounding him.
They also understood that this game was going to be a statement game for him and the team one way or another.
