Quarter 1

The Arabians had a weak start as only 7 points were scored. Luke Candiano hit a three point shot. Evan John and Game Simons each scored 2 points. Rebounding was also an issue with the Eagles getting twice as many rebounds as the Arabians.

Quarter 2

If scoring 7 points in the first quarter was bad, only 3 points in the second quarter was a disaster. We only hit 1 of 7 shots with Gabe Simons hitting one shot and Ethan Ross hit one free throw. Once again, the Eagles pulled down twice as many rebounds as the Arabians.

Quarter 3

The third quarter was a great improvement as the Arabians outscored the Eagles by 8 points. Luke Candiano hit for a quarter high of 7 points. Zion Cook hit for 5 points. Evan John, Jamison Dunham and Gabe Simons each scored 2 points. We also managed to pull down 3 more rebounds.

Quarter 4

The fourth quarter was another good quarter as the Arabians outscored the Eagles. Unfortunately it was only by 1 point. Ethan Ross led all Arabian scorers in the fourth quarter as he scored 5 points. Jamison Dunham scored 4. Luke Candiano with 3 points. Evan John chipped in 2 points.
