MIDWAY- The Green Waves took the tip but the Bears offense got off to a  quick start as Robert Vandervort opened with  a 3-pointer then Dakota Rinehart drew a foul and added two free throws early in the frame. Dakota Stone swished a three and Devin Collier had numerous offensive rebounds and two put backs pushing the Bears to an 18-4 lead at the end of the first quarter.

 Vandervort opened up the half with a bucket while Stone put up another three. Cawood and Adam Ruff for the Green waves answered with buckets of their own. Midway decided to put some pressure on the Bears and went on an 8 point run. Shawn Yates called his boys over for a timeout to put the game back in perspective.
