Both offenses would get going and Allderdice lead 12-8 after a quarter of play.

The Dragons hit a three-pointer to start the third quarter and make the score 30-22 before an 11-0 run gave NA their first lead of the day at 33-30. A top of the key three-pointer by Brady Brinkley gave North Allegheny the lead. Both teams would joust back-and-forth and we were tied 35-35 going into the final frame. The fourth quarter was tightly contested as the biggest lead either team could get was four. Trailing 50-48 with four seconds remaining, the Tigers got a stop and had a chance to win the game with a half-court shot.
