The Falcons came out strong, racing to a 23-9 lead after the first quarter. The Lions chipped away, cutting the deficit to seven by halftime, and the margin remained the same heading into the fourth quarter. With 3:34 left in the game, Stephen LeBrecht tied it at 57 with a reverse layup. Moments later, Lyons took their first lead since the opening minute as LeBrecht grabbed an offensive rebound and banked it in. The teams exchanged leads in a tense final three minutes. With 1.4 seconds remaining, CG Finney called a timeout to set up a play, and it paid off as Ethan Krog inbounded the ball and found a wide-open Braelen Broome, who scored the game-winning layup at the buzzer. Lyons has dropped two of their last three games, with the lone win coming against a banged-up Marcus Whitman team.
