HOW IT HAPPENED

First Half:

Unlike in the first meeting, Chowan jumped out to an early 12-2 run.  Gus Rowland started off the contest with a layup followed by a Tim Hewett trey.

The Builders hit two free throws early before Robert Grubbs completed the three-point play.  Demetrius Sanders made a layup as Tim Hewett completed the run with a pair of freebies.

The Apprentice School ended the run with a three-point play and a layup to bring the score to 12-7 in favor of the Hawks.

Tim Hewett putback his own miss to get the Hawks back into the scoring column followed by back-to-back buckets by Gus Rowland.

Swapping free throws midway through the half allowed the Hawks to extend lead back to double-figures.

A knock down three by Robert Grubbs with 6:22 remaining in the half saw the Hawks lead move to 28-15.

Chowan and Apprentice School traded baskets through the remainder of the half as the Hawks led 39-27 at the break.

Second Half:

The Apprentice School would cut the deficit to nine, 43-34, following a three but Diamante Brown put the Hawks back up to double-figures with a jumper.

A quick 6-0 run by the Builders brought the score to 47-40 with just over 16 minutes to play in the half.  Back-to-back baskets by Robert Grubbs and a triple by Diamante Brown pushed the lead back to 14, 54-40.

Gus Rowland finished the and-one opportunity to give the Hawks their largest lead at 17, 57-40.

The Hawks would keep the contest in double-figures until the Builders cut into the deficit with a 6-0 run with 3:21 remaining, 63-57.

Chowan hit 9-10 free throws down the stretch with Gus Rowland scoring 7-8 from the stripe to finish off the Apprentice School comeback.
