This score remained at the end of regulation, sending the teams into overtime.

Jones hit two free throws for Phil Campbell, but Barry Reach hit two of his own for Red Bay.

The Bobcats went up 37-34 after a 3-pointer by Brady Whitten, but Zach Garrett answered with a 3 of his own for Red Bay, tying the game at 37-37 to end the first overtime.
