In the JV contest, the Blazers built a commanding lead and never relinquished it as they won easily, beating the Warriors 56-29.
In the Varsity contest it initially looked as if the Blazers had not closed the gap between their GSSC rivals as the Warriors were able to build a lead that got as high as 15. But the Blazers slowly battled back and the 4th quarter was a back and forth affair like Heavyweight contenders throwing haymakers. At the end of 4 quarter, it was still all tied up. In the extra period the Blazers were able to get the lead and hit their free throws down the stretch, beating the Warriors 67-61.
