Cam VanWormer (Oil City), who scored 15 of his 20 points in the second half, hit a shot to tie the game at 101-101, but Team Cook wasn’t able to get over the top.

Aiden Hartle (North Clarion), Tanner Fox (St. Marys), and Miller helped Team Hartle push back ahead, but not without another late Team Cook push.

Payton Johnston (Union) was fouled shooting a 3 with 33 seconds left and Team Cook trailing 119-115. Johnston knocked down 2-of-3 from the line and Miller came down on the other end and was fouled with 18 seconds left, making both free throws to put Team Hartle back up four.

Preston Alfieri (Smethport) had a 3 go in-and-out on the next possession for Team Cook, and Team Hartle got the rebound and the ball out to Hartle in transition for an easy layup to seal the deal.

Hartle finished with 28 points for Team Harte, which knocked down 14 3s (Team Cook had 17), one of five players for his team in double figures. Fox finished with 20, while Adam Straub (Elk County Catholic) had 17 and Finch
