Both teams played some great defense in the first half and there was a lid on the Hargrave rim early on, as they trailed 10-1 early in the first quarter. Blue Ridge maintained and increased their lead in the first half to 29-14 at the break.
Hargrave, willed by the Hargrave 6th Man, clawed their way back into the game in the third quarter and early into the fourth quarter, as they cut the score to 38-32. Unfortunately, the Tigers couldn’t break over that six point deficit and eventually fell to the Barons by eight.
