The Jayvees hold a lead throughout the evening, having a 10 to 7 advantage at the end of the first quarter and one of 23 to 20 at the end of the half.

The Boys Club outfit came back strong in the final period, closing the gap between the two teams to only three points. The Crimson, however, get held of the ball and was able to freeze it for the remainder of the game.

Dan Shield was the high scorer for the Jayvees, tallying 17 points, while Mike De Leo played a flue game on the defense. Daly dropped 14 markers through the hoop for the visitors.
