In a familiar matchup, the Spring Mills Cardinals overcame a strong first-half effort from the Martinsburg Bulldogs to secure a 65-43 victory. Despite Martinsburg's initial success, the top-seeded Cardinals made crucial halftime adjustments, resulting in a dominant second-half performance characterized by exceptional shooting accuracy and stifling defense. Akwasi Opoku-Achampong led the charge for Spring Mills, scoring a game-high 22 points, with 19 of those coming after halftime, while Caleb Thomas contributed 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 blocked shots. Spring Mills' near-perfect shooting in the second half, particularly in the third quarter, proved decisive, as they limited Martinsburg's offensive output. Zion Agyeman-Duah paced Martinsburg with 14 points, but it wasn't enough to counter Spring Mills' second-half surge. The Cardinals' ability to adapt and execute after halftime ultimately propelled them to victory.
