South Gallia capitalized off the turnovers going on a 7-0 run to end the second, giving them the lead heading into the locker room 28-24. Overall, the Rebels outscored the Tomcats 20-12.
After halftime, Trimble was able to find success scoring, behind two huge threes from freshman Jaylee Orsborne as well as a seven-point quarter from Senior Point Guard Laikyn Imler and five points from Senior Center Jayne Six. The Tomcats were able to outscore the Rebels this quarter 20-13 retaking the lead heading into the fourth 44-41.

Jessie Rutt led the Rebels in scoring with 13 points as well as scoring her 1,000th point of her career in the third quarter on a tough and-1 bucket. Maice Sanders and Emma Clary each had 11 points for South Gallia in the loss.
