Jadon Petty scored Windham's first basket of the game on a layup that tied the score at 2-2. Chris Brown scored the next eight points for Windham. Brown's run began with Windham trailing 5-2 and ended with Windham leading 10-7. Brown's final basket of the game came after a great move in the lane that got him around his defender and to hoop for two points. King scored the final basket of the quarter giving Windham a 10-9 lead. The Eagles never trailed again.
