Matt Hamner dribbled from one basket to the other and used his 6’5” frame to finish with a layup and give Maplesville at 21-20 lead.
The game was close until MHS’s Cameron Morrow stole an inbounds pass with 2:12 remaining in the third quarter and layed it in for a 39-35 lead.
Moments later, just before the end of the period, Hamner drained a 3-pointer for a 42-37 lead, which would only expand in the final period.
