The victory for Harbor Beach makes it nine wins in a row and snapped Cros-Lex’s 12-game winning streak in the process.
Harbor Beach trailed at the end of the first quarter by a single point, 16-15. Cros-Lex hit three-straight three pointers from Cameron Saunders and Corbin Allen to take the lead, 16-11, before Harbor Beach’s Andrew Kabban made two free throws and Matt Geiger a basket as time expired in the first. The second quarter was far more lop-sided, as the Pirates outscored the Pioneers, 16-7, going on an 8-0 run in less than two minutes. Only an Alex Levitt bucket interrupted another Harbor Beach 8-0 run in less than 90 seconds to lead 31-21.
