The game was all for fun. In the girls game, both teams were all smiles and laughs. However, in the boys game, it was a highly competitive game with high paced action.

The Boys game looked like it could be a copy of the girls game as the Luzerne County built a big lead in the first quarter to lead 42-23 and led 82-62 at halftime. However, Lackawanna County did not quit as they started off the third quarter with a basket by Gonzales and a three pointer by Danny Nemitz.

Konopke gave Luzerne County the lead early with a basket. It was a back and forth affair however. Lackawanna went on an 8-0 run to make it a seven point game. However, a 7-0 run with a Dylan Mateus basket, a basket by Michael Bufalino and a three pointer from Murphy tied up the game.
