Father Henry Carr (Canada) 78, Pinewood Prep 75 (OT)

Stats of the game | 33 and 16: Curtis Trotter's totals for points and rebounds, respectively.

Turning point | Daniel Falloon's layup with 17 seconds left in overtime gave the Crusaders a 76-75 lead moments after Pinewood's Ryan Steed hit only 1-of-2 foul shots to put the Panthers up by a point.

Game summary | This evolved into a test of wills and nobody backed down. Pinewood led 40-39 at the half and 68-64 with 1:45 left in regulation, but couldn't stop Trotter, whose jumper with 4 seconds left sent it to overtime.

Quoting Father Henry Carr coach Paul Melnik | "This was a tremendous effort by both teams. Nobody wanted to lose. We fouled out three guys and one of our starters is home watching on the internet, so we were a little short. But some of the role players came in and stepped it up."

Quoting Pinewood Prep coach Pat Eidson | "We were in definite control of the game and then the officials basically let anything go. They were more physical than us."
