The Minutemen were eliminated at 15-14 on the year; the Trojans advanced to the final at 13-15.

“We were up by 10 in the third quarter and things took a turn,” said Minutemen coach Jay Goltz. “We hit a shooting slump and, for some reason, stopped playing on the defensive end. It's hard to win when you're not scoring or getting stops.”

Dane Sellars led B-Hill with 15 points, while Austin Yates had 14 and Chase Williams scored eight.
