New Boston 69
Berne Union 64 a final

... what a great game to watch from the Cheap Seats ! the Tigers go 10/18 from downtown ... Berne Union 7/21 from behind the arc ... 17 threes between the 2 D4 semi-finalists !!! The Rockets came to play with SIZE, SIZE and more SIZE ... great game plan - simple game plan "We're bigger/stronger ... put the ball down low in the hands of the BIGS on the block ... go down low to set up the 3 ball - Zane Mirgon (2)/ Levi Ross (2)/Brock Unger (2) /Chaz Dickerson (1) ... so many offensive boards for the Rockets ... BU seemed to be able to do anything/everything they wanted - on the blocks, perimeter scoring WITH the bigs , controlling the boards ... turning the Tigers over (5 TOs in the first period) ... BU put a 25 spot on the scoreboard in the 1st period ! Zane Mirgon (10pts) / Brock Unger (6pts on a pair of treys)/ Chaz Dickerson (3pts on a triple) / Baron Sullivan (4 pts) & Chase Blevins (2pts) ... outstanding all around quarter by the Rockets ... the Tigers were led by Marcus Saunders 7pts and 3 pointers by Saunders/Jerome McKinley & Grady Jackson ... Berne Union 25 New Boston 15 after one ... in the 2nd New Boston found the range from behind the 3 point line trading 2 pointers by the Rockets for 3 balls for the first 6:18 of the 2nd outscoring BU 14-8 to pull to within 4 pts 29-33 BU with 1:42 on the clock ... in the final 1:42 the Tigers broke lose on a 12-0 run led by guard Malachi Potts' 8 points including a 3 point bankshot from 30 ft as the buzzer sounded ! when the dust had cleared the Tigers of Coach Cox had drained 6/9 triples in the 2nd quarter ... 9/15 in the first half ... what had been a BU 8 point lead with 3 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter ended with NB having one upped the BU 25 point quarter putting 26 points on the board in the 2nd taking an 8 point lead of their own into half time ... New Boston 41 Berne Union 33 at intermission ... the last 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter might have broken many opponents ... BU however brought out the D - turning the Tigers over 5 times in the 3rd ... while adding 3 treys of their own in the quarter (2 by Levi Ross) and another by Mirgon (his 2nd of the game) ... the big man in the middle Jacob Harmon controlled the paint with 2 putback buckets ... NB seemed to try to shorten the game, running more clock with each possession ... putting the ball in the hands of Sexton/Caldwell out on the perimeter - resulting in 5 NB TOs and a BU transition bucket ... what was Tiger momentum going into halftime ... the Rockets took away in the 3rd as BU inched closer ... New Boston 54 Berne Union 49 after 3 - game on ... at 6:38 in the 4th NB led 57-49 on a Tyler Caldwell old fashioned bucket & 1 in the paint ... by 3:13 BU had cut the lead to 55-61 mainly from the FT line with the clock stopped - BU went 7/8 from the line in the 4th ... on the other end BU put the Tigers on the line ... NB made it interesting down the stretch as they hit only 7/14 from the line in the 4th ... at 1:03 NB led 63-60 - a one possession game ... FT's by Jacob Harmon made the score 63-62 NB with :48 to play ... Tyler Caldwell knocked down 2 FTs :43.3 NB 65-62 ... Caldwell to the line again hits 2 of 2 to give the Tigers a 2 possession lead 67-62 ... BU's McCartney on an uncontested drive the length of the court NB up 67-64 with :16 to play on the clock ...Kyle Sexton 1/2 from the line with :12 on the clock ... 68-64 Tigers ... a BU turnover ... Jerome McKinley sealed the Tigers win with 1 for 2 from the line to end the scoring ... New Boston 69 Berne Union 64 a final ...
