Quincy edged out Homer in the first quarter, 19-16, behind five three pointers by the Orioles, who came out on fire. Homer nearly matched Quincy basket for basket in the first.

Homer outscored Quincy 13-6 in the third quarter, so the Orioles found themselves down 43-36 heading into the final stanza.

The Orioles came charging back, taking the lead by one point. Homer quickly scored at the other end to reclaim the lead by one. The Orioles were down by three points with 8.7 seconds remaining, with Homer at the free throw line. The Trojans missed the front end of the one-and-one, and the Orioles dashed to the other end.
