In the boys contest the Bulldogs fell behind early and were down 1911 at the end of the first period. Toombs bounced back in the second to pull the Warrior lead to 35-31 at halftime.

In the third period Jefferson pulled away as they outscored Toombs 15-8. That gave them a 50-39 lead heading to the fourth. In that final period both teams scored 19 points as Jefferson took the win 69-58.

Toombs was led by Julian Mann with 25 points.
