Bailey stopped the spree with a free throw but the game’s next 6 points went to the hosts. Down 17 to 3, a hoop by Bulldog Shyla Salcido pulled the guests to within 12. The quarter closed with a Broken Bow goal and Alliance getting a buzzer beating score by Salcido. After one quarter of play, the Indians led 19 to 7.

Broken Bow’s full court press took its toll in the second. Alliance went scoreless in the quarter while the Indians tallied 16 points. Many of the host’s baskets came off their pressure defense. Heading to halftime, AHS trailed 35 to 7.

In period #3, Broken Bow increased their advantage. The Indians scored first to go up by 30. A two pointer by Bailey ensued, but 8 straight by the Indians made the score 45 to 9 at the 5 minute mark. A free throw by Bailey was followed by a three pointer by Bulldog Macey Seebohm as Alliance went on a small run. The 8 minute stanza closed with 3 more Indian points and the guests trailing 48 to 13. In the finale, it was all Broken Bow. The hosts tallied 15 more points to 0 by Alliance. Final Broken Bow 63 Alliance 13
