The first half was back and forth and remained that way until the very end. With 5:26 to go in the 3rd the score was Rogersville 33 West Plains 30. By the end of the 3rd quarter, the score had gottten tighter. Rogersville 39 West Plains 38! Upset in the making?

West Plains scored again to go up 3, but Rogersville answered with a big 3 pointer to tie the game at 49-49 with 51.9 seconds to go. In the final minute, a West Plains guard dribble penetrated the lane and scored but was called for a charge, and the basket did not count! Rogersville then took the last shot of regulation, but it would not fall. West Plains rebounded as time expired.
