The Tigers mounted a strong attack in the second period, forcing the Warriors to fight an uphill battle. White County went into the half down by one, 24-25.
White County regained the lead less than 60 seconds into the third period and would hold that lead despite a few more Twilight Zone officiating calls. At the end of the third, the score was 39-31 Warriors.
The Tigers mounted a final charge in the fourth quarter, closing the gap to just four points with only 30 seconds remaining in the game. The Tigers tried to mount a last-ditch effort but came up short by three points, with the Warriors clinching the victory, 47-44.
